CHAPTER

Navigating Intent vs. Impact in Depicting Stereotypes

This chapter explores the nuanced debate on whether it's the creator's intent or the impacted communities' perception that should determine if a work utilizes racist stereotypes. Through examples like Sacha Baron Cohen and JK Rowling, it delves into the evolving perspective that impact carries more weight than intent but emphasizes the necessity of considering both in communication and interpretation. The discussion also stresses the importance of defining terms like Islamophobia and antisemitism to establish consistent frameworks in addressing racism.
