3. The way race is portrayed in these two videos: Ghetto Delta and Everest College advertisement.
These two videos are similar in the fact that they portray black people as people that are not really educated. The difference is their approach to black. In the Ghetto Delta commercial the performance of black is done by a white cartoon. this character exaggerates the way "black people talk" and how they may act in a situation. In the Everest College advertisement however, the guy is not performing black. The setting is what sets him apart from the Delta ad. The setting of the Everest College ad is in an area that is filmed at night, in front of buildings that look as if they were in the projects or ghetto. another difference between the commercials is that the delta ad is performing the stereotypical black person whereas in the Everest ad they are trying to break away from that stereotype and get a better education for themselves.
