These shows claim to show a representational experience of these minority groups, but there has been a lot of pushback from both of them. This is very reminiscent of the keyword \u201caudience\u201d for this week. Hills states that \u201csometimes audiences represent a problem to be criticized\u2026\u201d(17). I think that it is really interesting that these shows, while attempting to create a new type of TV show, is still very much playing into the aesthetics of the dominant TV discourses. In creating shows like this, they are indirectly pointing out a niche that needs to be filled.\u00a0 Mayer\u2019s reading serves to point out a minority group and how they reacted to the dominant discourse and how they attempted to find a solution. I chose a quote from Mayer\u2019s reading, discussing how presenting new video aesthetics might be able to represent different communities distinctly as who they really are. I used a video clip from the TV show blackish, with the quote put on after the opening scene of one of the episodes.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 800px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-573-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/urctlt.com\/productionracestyle\/02\/Julias-Week-7-Response.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/urctlt.com\/productionracestyle\/02\/Julias-Week-7-Response.mp4\">http:\/\/urctlt.com\/productionracestyle\/02\/Julias-Week-7-Response.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayer\u2019s quote made me think of the TV shows Blackish, and Fresh Off the Boat.
