And that's basically always white "Christians". Still, it's not explicitly told in media what culture the man belongs to, and it's not typical for white men either. <br /><br />All groups in society have some "typical ways" in extreme cases, but we can't assume the extreme cases are representative to most normal people leading their everyday life. I think we should distinct between those two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275768344368542415.post-83902993466881728032010-01-04T23:16:21.089+01:002010-01-04T23:16:21.089+01:00here they also highlight where the criminal is fro...here they also highlight where the criminal is from, highlighting their socioeconomic background, that also enforces stereotypesPazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09567652179692699929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275768344368542415.post-60480964433075871472010-01-04T22:36:16.501+01:002010-01-04T22:36:16.501+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Leisha Camdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768409807832229050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275768344368542415.post-34209268896467477082010-01-04T22:36:08.256+01:002010-01-04T22:36:08.256+01:00That's actually not true.

It's not always kept to, but often. It's really weird. Supposedly it's to avoid increasing racism. But what is it that makes people negative towards anything, is it what actually happens or just hearing it talked about ... ? If that makes sense.<br /><br />It's really weird though, in this country you're always hearing right wingers yakking about how the media is pushing this left wing liberal agenda and always sugar coating everything to do with multiculturalism and immigration ... but on the other hand what you actually see them do is push stories like these. So I wonder where the right wingers are getting their angle from, sometimes. o_OLeisha Camdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768409807832229050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275768344368542415.post-60894040518197465362010-01-04T22:28:33.990+01:002010-01-04T22:28:33.990+01:00Agree with you on news media, if a criminal is fro...Agree with you on news media, if a criminal is from a minority its pointed out and mentioned at least twice in the newscast.
