• Racialization- Racialization is a sociological concept that describes the process by which people are classified based on their apparent differences. (Robb and Douglas, 2004) Racialization can also be associated with the dehumanization of people and the production of racial identities. The abolition of slavery in the USA is an example of racialization. Some argue that it was a key moment in the racialization of blacks. Because of their differences, blacks were not free, at least not to the extent of whites. They had to deal with the consequences of anti-black riots, segregation and a whole host of discriminatory acts. (Wolfe, 2002)• Ethnocentrism- Ethnocentrism is the belief that a certain nation, group or culture to which one belongs is superior to another. People within these nations, cultures, or groups often display strong loyalty and give preferential treatment to others within their group. They also often share a mutual dislike of those who are not part of their nation, culture, or group. Ethnocentrism could be defined as egocentrism, but on a large scale. Ethnocentrism is quite simple to achieve, as demonstrated in the 1970s by a man called Henri Tajfel, who conducted a series of experiments in Bristol, England. Together with the help of his colleagues, he demonstrated that simply placing individuals into two different social groups was enough to show in-group favoritism. During the experiment, participants were given the opportunity to allocate money to other participants of whom only the social group to which they belonged was known. Participants would choose to give larger sums of money to participants in their own group rather than to an outgroup member, even without knowing anything about the participants' self-identification. It was interesting… halfway through the document… that this was a particular attitude or belief of the student audience they were aiming the competition at. Again, as previously mentioned, individuals are susceptible to external influences (Cashmore and Troyna, 1990) and if the media continues to socially construct this vision of Thailand, then this vision will continue to be supported in the years to come and will still be a piece of ideological racism. .In conclusion, I believe that the media plays a vital role in our views and beliefs about race and also contributes significantly to the social construction of race. They use many ideas to do this, but particularly racial stereotypes. I think that unless the issue of ambiguous racism in the media is addressed, we will continue to live in a world where certain groups of people are victimized just because of appearances, different cultures or even because they are deemed inferior..
