Abstract:
|
In American mainstream comics, there is a tendency to omit certain groups of minority
individuals and rely on stereotypes of those minorities when present. Individuals like
Native Americans, gays, Middle Easterners, persons living nomadic lifestyles, and other
minorities are ignored and the current formula of a physically fit male Caucasian living in a
version of New York City applied. This thesis explores the reasons for lack of diversity and
suggests solutions for the issues.
