Why don't we try to rid our nation of these stereotypes that cause so much harm to our citizens? The answer is very simple; media companies are smart, very smart. Society wants to see “beautiful” people and media companies want to make money. If media companies realize that society wants to see attractive people, it makes sense for them to publish attractive people. When companies give the customer what they want, they are more likely to continue purchasing that product. Beyond that, if media companies made more money by producing content featuring “more attractive” people, then, from a business perspective, there would be no reason for them to stop publishing it.
