Although representations of abject white masculinity in Jackass are potentially valid critiques of working-class subjugation, they may also resubordinate the historically marginalized through erasure. In other words, the victimized white male is depicted in a way that subsumes the variegated histories of racial, gender, and sexual ‘minorities’.
