In this video by the offspring, the Caucasian lead character is characterised as goofy, so the audience are compelled to laugh at him, though cannot take it seriously. He wears silly looking, eccentric clothes and drives a 'flashy' car. This portrays the white ethnicity as silly and pokes fun at it.
The African American male is muscular and wears a bandana with a serious demeanour. This portrays the black ethnicity as tough and athletic, perhaps even apathetic. This is a very stereotypical view of the black ethnicity.
The Latino males in the music video are riding bicycles with contrast to the car of the Caucasian. This could perhaps portray them as lower class than the white male. They also show hostility towards the white male as he drives by, portraying them as anti-social, which could also affect the way the audience perceives their ethnicity.

The black males in the music videos can be seen participating in recreational drug use. This could portray their ethnicity as being criminally involved, therefore connoting they are not to be messed with. They wear dark clothing and seem to be at a party, surrounded by women. This could represent their ethnicity as attractive to others, as they are the centre of the party, where as the Caucasian males are in the background, wearing light coloured clothing and frozen; portraying them as inferior to the black ethnicity.
