Entry Two

For entry two I have chose to analyze another episode of South Park where socailly constructed racial groups are over emphasized in the program.
In this episode a group of Persian folks bought a bar that a bunch of locals normally hung out, which enraged the locals because they thought that since the new owners were persian they would try to re-decorate their bar. When the folks from the bar finally approached the Persians, they found out what they thought was true, the Persians wanted to decorate the bar. Also, the kids did not want to do their homework so they hired a group of Mexicans to do it for them. But, it turns out the Mexicans took the childrens assignment in the wrong way and wrote a letter to their friends rahter than writing the kids essays. I chose this because it over emphasizes the racial grouping of Persians enjoying decorating and Mexicans willing to do any work but ending up doing the wrong job. The writers send a message in this with the folks from the bar becoming friends with the Persians over the course of the episode and the children learning to do their own school work, saying simply because of the group is of a certain race doesn't mean that they are trying to do the stereotypical thing (whatever it may pertain to).
I do enjoy this episode because it does have a good message in a round about way , not to judge a book by its cover.
