4 - Racial & Gender Diverstity on TV

The show I chose is Modern Family because it is a very diverse show with many different characters. Modern Family does reflect racial and gender diversity to point out different characters in a family portrait. There is a Latin-American character in the middle of a typical white American family.  Also, there is a gay couple in the family. This kind of diversity is important in media to apply to different people. They want to be represented on TV so that they can identify themselves with the TV show character. 


One racial stereotype I can name is the character of Gloria, a Latin-American mother. She is very loud, her accent and temperament are very obvious. Also, she seems to lead the household in a dominant way and she is pictured as a very good cook and housewife.
