Video challenging ethnicity stereotypes: Eminem- "When I'm Gone". I think this video, and Eminem as an artist, challenges ethnicity stereotypes as the rap/hip hop genres are primarily assumed to be dominated by black artists yet Eminem is a successful rapper and is white.
Video supporting ethnicity stereotypes: Jay Z- "Dirt Off Your Shoulder". This video enforces ethnicity stereotypes as every member of the cast in the video is black, except for the police officers who are standing above two young black males who are kneeling on the floor with their hands behind their backs. Also, the word "nigger" is used frequently throughout the video which is commonly recognised as a slang word in black youth culture, yet is viewed as extremely racist if a white person was to use it in the same way.

Video challenging gender stereotypes: p!NK- "So What". The artist, P!NK, challenges the gender stereotypes as she has short hair and wears clothes that, although still show her bare flesh, are masculine and her attitude shows that she is very comfortable with her sexuality: the viewer is seeing her because she wants to be seen, not because she is being made into an object.
Video supporting gender stereotypes: Girls Aloud- "Cant Speak French". This video supports gender stereotypes because the camera acts as a voyeuristic window into a world were the girls flaunt themselves for the gaze of the male audience. They are dressed in very little and their image is that of perfect hair and make-up. The focus is very much on their bodies and faces, rather than their talent as artists.
