For this assignment, I will be analyzing the 2004, blockbuster film White Chicks with specific reference to dimensions of social stratification such as gender, class, and race. White Chicks follows the story of two African American FBI agent brothers, Kevin and Marcus Copeland who accidently foil an assiduously executed undercover operation intended to capture a group of notorious Dominican drug smugglers. As a final opportunity to redeem their tarnished reputations, the two agents take on an assignment far below their customary standards when they agree to escort billionaire heiresses Brittany and Tiffany Wilson to the Hamptons in order

Jordan Peele’s Get Out employs symbolism and characterization to uncover the damaging effects of societal microaggressions, psychological manipulation, and double consciousness on Black Americans. Ultimately, it offers a satirical yet profound exploration of the oppression of Black individuals. As an initial matter, Peele adeptly utilizes symbolism involving the Armitage Family's targeting of Chris to illustrate a fundamental aspect of the Black American experience. In an early incident where Chris and Rose hit a deer on their way to the Armitage estate, Rose defends Chris against a White cop who asks for Chris’s identification despite him not being the driver. This incident represents societal microaggressions that Black individuals face.

The final example of prejudice is the novel is related to shame. Numerous characters in the novel became ashamed of who they were and their social class, just because of the prejudices against their class. Take for example Darry, who, as stated by Ponyboy on page 142, chapter 9, is secretly “ashamed to be on our side (the greaser side), ashamed to be seen with the Brumly boy Shepard’s gang, maybe even us.” Just because of the prejudices against the greasers, like the prejudice that they’re all lousy hoods, Darry felt ashamed to be seen even with his own brothers. The next character affected by prejudice is Randy.

One thing that stuck out to me because I’ve heard a lot about it is in the beginning of the movie when the young black men are talking about the poor

The emotional reaction that the filmmakers intended for anyone who watch this film is that no matter what skin, hair and eye color is no one deserves to be labeled. No race should be discriminated and criticize. We should all get along and just be proud of where our roots come from. This film also intended for everyone who watch this film, is that there should not have to be obstacles to be proud of your own race.

The film lookes at the prejudices between the families but did not touch on how interacial couples also have deal with societies biases against them. Being a interacial couple may come along with its shares of difficulties, diffrences between the indiviuals, famial prejudice, and societies prejudice.

Many viewers of crime stories activated stereotypes black laziness, leading to increased that blacks do not face structural limitations to success perception. Director Spike Lee explains that these images have negative impacts " In my neighborhood, we sought to athletes, guys who got the ladies, and intelligent people," said Lee. " If you're smart, you're called a white guy or

A good film must establish context, build tension, and realistically portray the impact of the events of a story, and this can only be done through a certain amount of artificial tinkering with the rigid facts (textbook). The 2015 film Straight Outta Compton is a case study in how small tweaks to reality can be used to impress audiences with the emotional and cultural impact of a story, and as such it provides good opportunity to examine the

Discrimination has shown up tremendously in this movie, but one of the few incidents that stood out the most to me was when the women decided to give separate bathrooms to the maids because they carried too many “diseases” that would harm others if anyone made contact with. This was very ridiculous because the bathrooms were placed outside and some were even miles away from the house, so if it was a storm the maids would have to

Racism, prejudice and stereotyping, as the main themes of the movie, control all the sub-stories that are somehow linked to each other. Moreover, as the stories go on and events develop, it becomes possible to see how characters start to have changes in their perspective and attitude towards each other, either in a good or a bad way. An incident which can demonstrate our thesis on racism and stereotyping and how it might change in just one moment which brings people closer could be shown as the conflict between the racist police officer and the African American woman who gets harassed by him, and whose life is saved by him on the next day. The first encounter of the woman and the officer resulted with the woman

The majority of the racism involved in the movie is towards the negro population. They are perceived as thugs, thieves and

Depending on where someone lives also plays a large part on why they group by color. In the movie there were two Whites, two Asians, and two Blacks. They were all mostly from the west, and only portrayed the racism that is felt in that area. All over the United States racism differs, but grouping still emerges. It is natural for groups of people that feel close to one another to stick together. This is shown by how areas of cities will be predominately black, Asian, Hmong, Mexican or White. The colored men in the movie had difficulties with grouping. They mainly felt that whites needed to group outsiders that didn’t look white. One of the Asian men stated that he felt only white was American. He had troubles with how the white man would start to let in other cultures, but then in turn expected other races to give up their cultures to become American. The colored man does not want to give his identity to become apart of the white group, he feels that to end racism we should not have to all be the same.

The stereotypes in the story, makes it difficult for the readers to conclude the race of each character. People assume that the African American character would be illiterate and uneducated and the white character to be well-educated. During the time period of the story African Americans did not have access to a decent education; making it harder for them to learn just the basics. Whites had access to good education, making it easy to believe the white character is more educated. It is also believed that a person that is well educated will have a better lifestyle when they are older. A well-educated person will have a better job, paying more, and have a better opportunity to afford the means of a luxurious lifestyle. An under educated person will most likely live in poverty, struggle for their basic needs, or live in a declining neighborhood. Behavior is a harder stereo type to use to distinguish a race. Many assume that whites have an entitled attitude toward life. Whites had access to a good education and jobs, they had a “I’m better than you” attitude. On the other hand, many think African Americans were upset because of how easy it was for whites to have better access to the basic necessities such as education and housing.

is no law saying that every film involving cross-racial relationships has to make some kind of defining statement about racism or race-relations in general, but there should be a rule against painting such broad character strokes using painfully obvious and patronizing stereotypes.” (Mendelson’s Memos)
