You would talk about deviancy amplification+ labelling . eg. Black people and youth crime.


More ethnic minorities appearing on tv shows, e.g. eastenders- Masood.

Negative stereotypes still exist; asians- terrorists.

Do you know if there are any sociological theories or any sociologists who said that ethnic minorities are no longer stereotyped?? x
