In the context of media representation, 'justified' refers to the rationalization or legitimization of particular portrayals and narratives about a subject or community. It often involves framing stereotypes or generalizations in a way that appears reasonable or acceptable, even if they are oversimplified or inaccurate. This can significantly impact public perception and understanding of a culture, shaping how communities are viewed and treated in society.
