A report by @timesupnow found that 1/4 of all media coverage around Sen. Harris included racist&sexist stereotyping like labeling her as “nasty,” “extreme,” “phony,” &”mean” AND 2/3 of all coverage mentioned her gender & race,compared to 5% for the male VP Candidates in 2016. 1/3 https://twitter.com/jackienpadilla/status/1313531124606480386">https://twitter.com/jackienpa...
It’s BEYOND time for reporters and the public to stop perpetuating racist/sexist stereotypes & tropes.
