UGLY BETTY!?

Ugly betty has been a popular TV show for a few years. In America, we don't see too many latino actors/actresses on the TV and we rarely see any asians stats on TV (Well, except Ken Jeong in The Hangover, or, maybe you could say Jackie Chan is kinda famous)

But most people that we saw on the TV or movies are White people. It makes us to believe that Whiteness is normal and is commonly accepted. And at the same time, people from all over the world are watching those Hollywood movies, learning about stories of white people. White just becomes an ideal color.

Media shapes how WE see the world. Try to imagine that a person has no contact with asian people and what would she/he feel after watching the Hangover? Are all asians that crazy? Are they all short? Do they all talk so funny? This kinda of memories might just stay on our mind because we all think the actor in the movie represents realities.
