Where is jared stetson from

But these days, the trend reaches beyond stereotyping Southerners to taking on any subculture featuring eccentric, often dysfunctional white people. TLC just ordered up another season of its controversial showBreaking Amish, which supposedly featured naive young people from the isolated Amish and Mennonite religion heading to New York, but included a woman who already had a child and may have been married before.

In the new season, they head to Florida, completing the circle of stereotypes. It features a year-old mother of nine who is also a grandmother, and a twice-divorced, year-old stripper who was a star of TLC's other ode to Romani culture, My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding. From the knuckleheaded party hounds on Jersey Shore to the combative families on Mob Wives, so-called reality TV is filled with stereotypical depictions of white people that would never be attempted with subjects of color.

For proof, consider the uproar when Oxygen made a pilot called All My Babies Mamas, featuring rapper Shawty Lo, who is African-American, and his 11 children by 10 different women. Before the cable channel could even pick up the series, a coalition of advocacy groups gathered in protest, including the often liberal ColorofChange.

The Change. My suspicion: White people often don't see themselves as a racial or cultural group who can be hurt by stereotyping in media, even though there's a long history of assuming Southerners are eccentric and stupid because of just such images. Watching the reaction to Shawty Lo and Oxygen, I wondered if any organized group would ever stand up for the Southerners, gypsies, Russians, Italians, Amish and other white subcultures who see themselves stereotyped in ways black, Hispanic and Asian people would never tolerate.

Some might say these shows have less impact because white people have enough quality portrayals in media to outweigh these garish caricatures. But I suspect a breed of younger viewer has just grown addicted to entertaining stereotypes on TV.

When they exploit a group we don't typically see as oppressed, it's that much easier to look. Subscribe Manage my subscription Activate my subscription Log in Log out.
