Hispanic teens are often protrayed as dropouts, hip-hoppers who live in unsafe neighborhoods where violence threatens their daily lives. Or they are shown as ethnic-centric youths disconected from the mainstream
I'm not convinced that people of color are mostly portrayed in negative ways. There are times, certainly, and certainly unfairly (that's what stereotypes can lead to), but mostly? Boy, I'm not convinced. --reid
