Do you feel a conflict between the familiar experiences of many and the foreign of your own. Do you want more foreign of the familiar?

Question

D you feel more alone with your experiences if you do not see them represented in media coverage?

Answer 1

The short answer is yes. Growing up as a biracial (half-Latino) individual in a mostly white community is very isolating of itself. However, that is increased tenfold whenever I only see the heroines and heroes offered to me in childhood being mostly white as well. Where were the Latino superheroes? Writers? Singers?

This isn't just a racial issue either. Those with disabilities also deserve to be represented. As well as those with different body types. While things are growing ever-diverse through globalization and the internet connecting everything and everyone- our media should grow more diverse as well.
