Media Portrayal (Fetishization) of LatinX Individuals

Conclusion

     To sum things up, it is quite clear that the fetishization of Latinx individuals (and especially of Latinx females) has been inflamed and intensified by modern day manifestations of social media such as memes and Twitter posts and have been maintained by bigger picture modern-day media outlets, especially the entertainment monolith known as Hollywood. In other words, my research hypothesis appears to be correct. By deeply delving into this topic of discussion I hope I have brought a greater and more pertinent awareness to a systemic issue that has only become more unmanageable and widespread with the advent and introduction of a more globalized society. Hopefully the general public and whoever sifts through this digital project will feel a bit more educated regarding the way in which real-time, 21st century media most commonly and frequently portrays Latinx individuals and both creates and further entrenches arbitrarily imposed, hyper-sexualized beauty standards and false narratives.
