Race Pizza
A slice of American identity with everything on top!
Race is like pizza. It’s tasty, it’s universal, it’s understood to be the easiest, most convenient, visually focused, like a limbic level tasty snack. We all love to position
ourselves in the archives and gateways of racial reasoning. And all the choices and variations are readily available by all. Should we eat pizza everyday? No. Should we focus on race as the end-all be-all? No. We need to find our own toppings, love it, be happy, but know that in the end, it’s still pizza. No marinara sauce? White pizza. No cheese? Vegan pizza. No toppings? Pizza. The point is, that we are all human.

Mission: Possible
Minority Report TV is a web video series, with a mission to tear open media indiscretions like rabid dogs, then passionately offer treatment and alternatives. With splats of humor thrown about, as professors and media producers we hope to improve the rocky relationship between media and minorities.
Television, film, newspapers and radio traditionally have had ultimate control over images of racial and ethnic minorities in the US and abroad. We respond best to saturated and predictable archetypical characters and outrageous, insensitive stereotypical caricatures. In addition, we celebrate and promote a slow rising tide of intelligent, charismatic, talented and beautiful performers who are considered minorities in the US.
