Race and representation

Race and representation refer to how different racial and ethnic groups are depicted in media, politics, and society. Representation matters because it shapes public perception and understanding of those groups. When people of various races are accurately and positively represented, it can foster inclusivity and reduce stereotypes. Conversely, negative or limited portrayals can perpetuate bias and discrimination. This concept emphasizes the importance of diverse voices and perspectives in shaping cultural narratives, ensuring that all communities are seen, heard, and valued in public spaces and discussions.
