Virtual integration is considered a safe way for white Americans to attest that they are color blind. The issue of integration is still a persistent problem in our neighborhoods, schools, and places of business. This leads me to think that people have created a false interpretation of minorities in the real world. The media and major corporations are only concerned with feeding on the revenues received from their shameless marketing tactics.
Television only depicts half of the story, when it comes to news dealing with minorities. There are two sides to every story and in this case an important side is left out. For instance, a man named Charles Stewart "points the finger" (Steinhorn and Diggs-Brown, 656)
