Racial Scripting
Race is largely a social concept than the natural differences in how people look. Physical appearance is just a criterion in which people classify others in different races. Racial scripting is a process that classifies an individual based on their appearance or originalities. This concept of scripting operates in three primary ways; highlights how racialized groups are acted upon by a range of principals, identifies the shared process of racialized groups, and finally, scripting is enhanced by victims as they put forth their scripts which directly challenge dominant racial scripts. Media stereotypes reflect and nurture common prejudices in that Asians are depicted as nerdy, African Americans as dangerous and Latinos as fiery. Such is the recent film Just Mercy which portrayed how getting justice as an African American is difficult.
