Stereotypes in the media

I was tasked to watch one show over the course of a week and find some stereotypes. I decided to watch family guy, and I found quite a few stereo types. Two big ones were Peter's, the main character in family guy, apparent hatred for handicapped people even though his best friend is one, and a distrust of black people, even though his friend is one. These videos show how racism is present in the Family Guy series.
