Through many films, video, and other media racial stereotypes have been established in younger generations. children movies such as Peter Pan and Pocahontas show Indians completely different from what they are actually like. every Indian is a red man with a big nose who has violent tenancies. the idea of an Indian princess is shown in both with tiger Lilly and Pocahontas illustrating them. they are beautiful and primitive yet the Indian me are simply savage. theses stereotypes are also shown in music videos such as half breed and in the dance video games that are played by children all over the world.
the negative connotations that are being shown to children and society help form the conception that we have of Indians today and will have of them in the future. changes need to be made so that we do not continue making these assumptions in the future.
