If you aren't inspired to write about Pocahontas or the other short clips we watched in class, I thought you might like to watch these music videos and think about the role of culture and stereotypes in each: How do they relate to the films we have seen? What do they say about the dominant culture? Or, find your own example--video, cartoon, commerical, etc., and write about it.

Think about how these videos compare to a perhaps more "authentic" one:
