That's where you start, I guess. Thus, the uncomfortable discussion of race. The useful thing about media studies is if you're not in the media, you don't have to take it personally.
Well you kind of should take it personally. Radio, TV and print have been programming our brains to see the world through a certain lens. It's easier to see through car and toothpaste commercials or the bare jingoism of Kiefer Sutherland's 24 but learning to resist this kind of subtle programming that make us hate/fear a race of man will probably have a bigger effect than most things.
