On Tuesday, MSNBC host Chris Hayes ran a satirization of recent news analysis with Cord Jefferson of Gawker with the premise being the “dangerous elements of White Culture.”

At the end of the segment Hayes concluded, “If you watched that segment and thought that’s an absolutely ridiculous premise and an absolutely terrible way to talk about millions of people who share nothing, nothing, except their general broad pigmentation? You are correct. And remember that the next time you hear those same arguments, but with a different word in place of the word white. That’s the memo.”

How do you feel about the way the media covers non-white communities?
