Race and Ethnicity Representation

Race and Ethnicity Representation 

My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding 


Ethnicity in 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' in shown in both negative as positive aspects as it shows that not all gypsies are the same however the majority of stuff it shows not many people would agree with it. The show shows gypsies fighting and picking up/dragging girls away at parties in which the girls have no choice in, this would not be accepted in many cultures of society.
This program portrays the people as dangerous as they get into fights with other families which therefore to the program viewers who don't usually see these people who feel as those this stereotype is right and that all gypsies are dangerous to approach or speak to. 

The Simpsons 


Apu is shown as a stereotypical indian man, he is shown to spend the majority of his time in the 'kwik-e-mart' where he works which is always open. However Apu has a wife and 8 children which people associate larger families which the indian culture or ethnicity.  He is shown to be friendly with all his customers.
