> In America, the media narratives about race are entirely sympathetic toward minorities. I would also appreciate a citation for the implication that poor white Americans are somehow more racist than other Americans (esp other poor Americans).
That may be starting to shift, but it is not true that American media is more sympathetic towards minorities.
"White Americans overestimate the proportion of
crime committed by people of color, and associate
people of color with criminality."
"Many media outlets reinforce the public’s racial
misconceptions about crime by presenting African
Americans and Latinos differently than whites
– both quantitatively and qualitatively. Television
news programs and newspapers over-represent racial
minorities as crime suspects and whites as crime
victims. Black and Latino suspects are also more likely
than whites to be presented in a non-individualized
and threatening way – unnamed and in police custody."
