Representation of Ethnicity and some examples

Historically there have been many ideologies attached to all ethnicities within society, each one having different social values.

The ideologies attached to African Americans is they are less well educated and are more inclined to be a criminal compared to white people. a film that contradicts this is Dawn of The Dead as the main African American character within this film is a Police Officer which does not conform to the ideologies which we have about African American people. A film that supports this is Ride Along as one of the main characters (Kevin Hart) is shown to be less educated, this supports the ideology linked to African Americans.

Examples:
The green mile (but has a twist)
Django unchained
End of Watch

The ideologies attached to Caucasian people is that they are more dominant and are well educated compared to any other race and have a domesticated family, a film that does not support this is The Book of Eli as the main character (Denzel Washington) is more intelligent and is far more superior at combat than the other characters within the film, this opposes the thought of caucasian people are superior, better than African American individuals.

Examples:
Book of Eli
Dawn of The Dead
Lethal Weapon
