This video is a few clips of stereotyping used in the show Family Guy. The first stereotype used in the clip is the stereotyping of Asian people with their bad driving skills and how this causes a major car collsion . The second stereotype is how Japanese girls think everything that is small Is cute while also stereotyping their accents. The third stereotypes African American people who talk to much and repeat the same sentence irrelevantly multiple times. The fourth stereotype shows how Mexicans win a game during the Olympics because of their great ability to clean and sweep. The fifth shows how Italian people always try to act tough and make themselves look dangerous if someone were to get on their bad side. The sixth stereotypes Asian people being smart and Asian parents pushing their kids to become doctors at a young age. The seventh stereotypes black people always saying ,"Mhmm". And finally, the eighth stereotypes Arab people being suicide bombers.
Of course these are all extreme cases of stereotypes. An Asian woman would not purposely cause a car collision. An Asian father would not ignore his son knowing that his son is 12 years of age and not of age to be a doctor yet. Not all Arabs are suicide bombers. Not all African Americans and Italians talk that way. All of this is clearly made for entertainment purposes and is not meant to offend anyone. The use of satire exaggeration extends the comedy and gives a good laugh to audience members who might relate to the case.
