Edward Said

Alvrado- Mainly aimed at the black community but can be aimed at other non-white people. tell us that people can be seen as exotic, dangerous,humerous and pitied. These are for people that have a stereotype. Everyone shows how people can be stereotyped and they can be put into  catergories like this. Exotic (models; music artists; food) Dangerous (crime; gangs; socially dysfunctional) Humorous (comedians; sidekicks; quirky) and Pitied (poverty).

Fanon- was mainly talking about black people. This means bothe females and males from the black community. He was saying that black stereotypes can be different. For example, Infantilize - such as the 'cute' children of the Charity Poster or the 'simple-minded‘ 'Step ‘n’ fetch it‘ lazy comedian. Primitivize - The 'exotic & virile' tribal warriors or 'bare-breasted maidens' with a 'natural sense of rhythm‘. Sporting prowess. Decivilize - The 'Gangsta', 'Pimp' etc. and Essentialize - Undifferentiated mass-'they all look the same to me' .

Said- He is saying that the western is more superior than the east side. Meaning that the eastern are uncivilised. This was probably more aimed at the asian community.

In Yasmin, the show showed three differnet types of how muslims can behave and act. For example, you saw the young boy going to the mosque and saying prayers with another elderly man. The lady was getting changed from her traditional clothes to a normal jeans and top. this could have been becasue of her job or because of the area and the plave she works in dont accept or like muslims in a sense because of the steretype they are under. She had to take off her headscarf and get ready. When she went to the pub loads of people were looking at her and staring and she knew that because it was a white-dominant area, they probably dont like or see often any other coloured person-meaning that they are racist. This does happen as its soemthing that happens in differnt areas of the country.You saw a man that was way more traditional as he was speaking and singing to himself, he was cooking as if he was in his own country when he could hav eeasily used the stove or microwave. He was wearning traditional clothes. Hs showed that he was traditional and she showed that she was more modern than the other people.







This is showing a exotic side and humerous side as its showing some traditional roles but also showing roles that arent as traditional as we thought it would have been. This means that they show the traditional muslim family as they are half muslim and half white they have to show the other side to them.






This trailer shows a dangerous side and a humerous side in some parts. As its showing that dangerous side as they are well-known black males in the big hollywood industry they are shown as dangerous as when they are seen using weapons and the way they are dressed in some parts of the film. In some parts of the trailer its funny and has some funny lines to make it more intresting as some black people are knwon for being funny and they are decivilised.








This is beaing shown as a dangerous and orientalism. This is because the man is working for terroists and they are seen as dangerous people and bvecasue they are muslim the terrosit then they are assumed with the oriental side. That the west is more superior in a way. The man isnt muslim but they forced him to dod certain things of their religion so that he would live.







This is being shown as exotic as its set in differnt countries an dthe peopel are wearing differnet outfits that are traditional and non traditional. This is also humerous as its a funny film and yiu can see that in the one liners taht are given. Its also exotic because they are showing pretty women and good looking men in the video so they may find it exotic and there is music.






This is a music video that shows black men in a stereotypical way as this is what a lot of people associate them with. Thsi is seen as exotic as its a music video and its differnt. This is seen as dangerous as of the lyrics and the way hes dressed and decivilise as he is a gangster and shows that through his video.






This is shown as dangerous as drugs and weapons are in the video and there are many gangs taht are made up of mainly black men and some white males. This is to show that they are dangerous and are seen in a bad way. This is what they want people to show.
