The three waves of feminism began with women fighting for access. They wanted all women to have the same rights as everyone else. Basically they wanted to stop being objectified and thought of as real humans. The first thing noticed when looking at the picture above is that it is in black and white; this shows, along with the older car, that it is in a relatively old setting. This is when women were first fighting for rights. They were able to leave the house and start living a normal life. The picture also shows the beginning of the second wave, which is roughly in the 60s and 70s. In the second wave women wanted more social acceptance and wanted to start constructing what it meant to be a woman (i.e., it is not ok to take part in pornography). The man is opening and holding the door open for the woman. Women were able to start living a normal life but they wanted recognition and quality of life. The action of opening the door for a woman shows that they are there and men care. Finally, the third wave of feminism is building off of the first two, and they are beginning to want acceptance within each other. For example, if a woman decides to be a porn star, women around her should not judge and accept what she is doing because it is her own choice. Women want the opportunity to do what they want.

The South Park episode starts out in the aesthetic where they are showing the Wheel of Fortune and showing how racism is going to apart of the episode. It all starts when Randy says the word “niggers” as the answer to people who annoy you on the Wheel of Fortune when the real answer is naggers. This is very similar to the Chappelle Show when everyone says “nigger” like it is not a derogatory term. They are trying to show some of the stereotypes of “whiteness” and that it is not right that white people think they are the most powerful and can say whatever they want. It then moves on to the critical when Randy is apologizing to Jessie Jackson (who he thinks is the emperor of black people) and says that he is really down with African Americans in the stereotypical dialect of a lower class African American. Finally it moves to the ontological when Randy decides to go to a black comedian where he ends up getting belittled and called “nigger guy.” He soon begins to understand what it is like to be called a name that he does not like. This is also very similar to the Chappelle Show when Dave Chappelle takes off his KKK mask and everyone sees that he is actually an African American. The people in the meeting realized what they were actually doing.
