Racism is not caused by the clash of two or more races – racism is not a natural phenomenon. Instead, Gilroy states that racial difference and racial identities are the product of racial oppression.

Audience as indoctrinated - useful as it showed how high frequency viewers of the media were more susceptible and that it would affect their beliefs an...
