Read the following paragraph from the article,

Racist stereotypes found their way
into the medium because comic
book artists often relied on what
they saw in movie and TV Westerns,
Francis said. Before Westerns,
political cartoons dating to the
1700s demonized and ridiculed
Native people, Stereotypes are
oversimplified or too-generalized
ways of looking at people or their
races
Which idea is BEST supported by this paragraph?

Incomplete question since it lacks options. However, I inferred generally from the passage.

Answer:

Native characters were not represented well in the past

Step-by-step explanation:

In fact, there were visible sterotypes ( oversimplified or too-generalized depiction of Native people) in comic cartoons drawn by comic book artists. Furthermore, the article compares what happened in the past during the 1700s in political cartoons in which the Natives were demonized and ridiculed with what was occuring now; a period having widespread availability of comic books.
