Racism and Stereotypes in Advertising

The image showing the two little boys bringing jello to the woman in the rocking chair was the most shocking and it bothered me. It was a huge stereotype that the African Americans were illiterate and that they know a lot about comfort foods and drinks. I think that the majority of society has changed their views on this stereotype. A few of the stereotypes that circle my age group is that you have to be beautiful and a certain size to be popular and successful.
