Professor shelton won his diversity award last year. Please know that i stand for diversity i represent the african-americans, latinos, Arab-americans, asians, native americans, gays and lesbians, women and all the others we must see represented in our business offices, newsrooms, and newspapers. Symbolic annihilation is rooted in two assumptions: media content is symbolic rather than a literal representation of society. Ignoring diverse groups renders the groups powerless: invisibility in entertainment roles, trivialization, and condemnation in the message (ex. white people playing people of color like scarlett johansson and charlie chan) Stereotyping: media delivers messages about diverse groups that are rooted in false assumptions and beliefs: using stereotypes serves as a comfort zone for some gatekeepers, often those stereotypes are the beliefs of the gatekeeper.
