Analyzing Media Through an Ethnic Studies Lens

Question 7 • CA-Ethnic Studies

In recent years, music videos have improved the portrayal of people of color on screen. Today, viewers can watch more short-form storylines that highlight the experiences of people from diverse racial and ethnic groups. However, there are still limited examples of stories and images related to the LGBTQ+ community. As a result, one lesbian filmmaker tries to include LGBTQ+ characters of color in any videos she directs or produces.Which issue is this filmmaker working to address?

Answer
A
improving ethnic representation
B
increasing dominant narratives
C
providing an intersectional lens
D
considering positionality

Explanation

The filmmaker is representing people whose experiences involve both race or ethnicity and LGBTQ+ identity. Considering how these identities intersect is called providing an intersectional lens. Improving ethnic representation alone would not address the limited LGBTQ+ representation described in the question.
