13984. MASCULINITY AND STEREOTYPES IN THE MASS MEDIA BASED ON RACE AND CLASS. This paper uses two studies on African American males (Slim’s Table by Duneier and There Are No Children Here by Kotlowitz), and one study on Asian American males (“Vanishing Son” by Kashiwabara). Using these sources, it is argued that the mainstream media perpetuates stereotypes about men of different races and classes and that these stereotypes do not reflect reality. 11 pages, 24 footnotes, 3 bibliographic references.
