Race And Ideology

Racialisation

- Race is a social construction.
- Races do not exist outside representation.
- Historical formation of race occupies structually subordinate positions.

Third World Images

- Localised inequalitities reproduced on world scale.

www.lonelyplanet.com/asia - Portays Asia as an untouched melting pot of culture.
www.destinasian.com/ - The institution portarys Asia as a travel destination with the intention of making money. The website plays up to Asia's reputation as a place of culture that is much different from Western culture. This exploits a certain stereotype of Asia, not an offensive stereotype but a stereotype nontheless.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-acific - Dedicated to providing an honest and truthful look at Asian news and politics. Clearly geared toward Asians and people who speak Asian languages since you can translate the site into Hindi and other Asian languages.
