I felt very interesting that I have seen many sitcoms focusing on the different minorities, but I do not see as many as past decades ago. People may have become more sensitive about stereotypes. I couldn't think of any other sitcoms and dramas which show stereotypes about minorities(although I found those comedies. ex. Pablo Francisco, the stand-up comedian), so I hope i can read what other classmates wrote.
There is a new episode called "Daddy Queerest"on "American Dad!". There is a character whose name is Terry and he has just got married to his gay partner, Greg and has a baby. Terry's father doesn't know that his son is a gay or married to the same-sex partner. Terry's father is a former football player, very masculine, and not open to gay relationships. So, they all have a hard time to tell his father about their marriage. The episode focuses on how to convince him to accept his family. This shows how certain people discriminate homosexual people, and how the others respect them and try to help them to be happy. When people have their strong opinion about the issue, it is hard to change it. In this show, some stereotypes are shown such as their hair styles and their hair and the way they talk. This couple both have the tight outfitters, and neat hair styles. Also how they like to go out for dinner everyday to enjoy nights and meeting new people and going to social party was shown. At the end, Terry's father decide not to accept his son's family just because his son is gay. However, Terry and Greg noticed that they do not really need the grand father if he can not accept the way they are out of all the effort they made.
