Ethnicity revision


Examples of stereotypes are
. Indian
. Thai
. Middle Eastern
.White
. Black (African, Carribean)
. Gypsys/travellers
.Eastern European

Tv dramas create confict so to create conflict using ethnicity, the differences in the stereotypes have to be exaggerated when compared to another stereotype. For example, in Little Britain clip, there is three ethnicities in the clip. Thai, Gypsys and Eastern european. The Gypsys and thai ethnicities are portrayed as humourous whilst the eastern european ethnicity is sexualised. This creates conflict between the thai stereotype and eastern european stereotype.

The thai stereotype in this clip is shown as unattractive and unable to speak proper english whilst the eastern european stereotype is exotic, sexualised and an object of desire for the gypsy/ white stereotype who have power over the minority ethnicites.
