Intro to Ethnic Studies
Underrepresentation refers to the situation where certain groups, especially ethnic minorities, are inadequately represented in various media forms, leading to a skewed perception of their reality. This lack of representation can perpetuate stereotypes, distort public understanding, and marginalize the voices and experiences of these groups. When ethnic communities are underrepresented, it not only affects their visibility but also their influence in shaping cultural narratives and societal perceptions.
