I am glad to see Latinas creating change in media — America Ferrera in Superstore on NBC and Jenna Ortega in Stuck in the Middle on the Disney Channel — but we still have a long way to go. Bobbie Eisenstock, Ph.D, a California State University Northridge media professor, explained that "with a media culture so overpopulated with stereotypes, the effect is to normalize and perpetuate stereotypes in society, which, in turn, affect how we interact with people who fit the stereotype in our real lives, particularly if we lack first-hand personal experience knowing someone like them." -- Popsugar
