- race and ethnicity is shown in a positive way
-Globalised- the internet, technology etc (coming together)
- as by how we see all the races come together and celebrate
- also over the time how different races have had great achievement in music E.g rizzle kicks, dizzie rascal, asian music
- also the white wife and the black husband living a good middle class life style. going against the stereotype. And how to races have come together to make a happy family
-Relating it to theory - Alvardo - Humorous-not in a comic sense but in the sense of joyful happy characters
-negative- Frantz- black wearing white masks- want that lifestyle

-negative representation - multicultural - staged and not true
- trying to say we don't see black father and white mother living in a middle class life style
- Frantz- that black people are aspiring or wanting to be like white people as seen in the Olympic opening

WWW: Your points here are very good - you've looked at the texts from more than one angle and applied some of the theory we have learned in class.
ReplyDeleteEBI: I would like to see a little more, particularly in terms of specific examples from the texts themselves (you don't actually say what the texts are, which would be confusing for someone reading your blog who didn't see the original task)
LR: In terms of your points on the Daily Mail (the lack of black middle class men), how far do you think the majority of the British public would agree with this reading? Why?
LR- depedning of the area, as london being a more multi cultural place they would disagree with this point. However i place with majortiy white middle class people they would disagree with this due to their views on class and cultural. However due to hypoderdemic needle and the media injecting black characters in british movies being from a working class bakground certain people from the public might agree with the reading.
