Fanon: Non-whites have to put on a "white mask", adopting the western culture and lifestyle to be accepted within society. e.g. President Obama, a black male president according to Fanon had to adopt the western white culture and adapt himself to live in America and eventually become president. He'd have to dress smart and have similar mannerism to that of a White American.
Edward Said: Orientalism, West = superior and civilised while East = dangerous and uncivilised e.g. Rules in the West to follow; East has wars and terrorism.
Alvarado: Black people are stereotypically placed in four categories:
- Pitied e.g. Slavery
- Humorous e.g. Black comedy
- Dangerous e.g. Ghetto areas within America
- Exotic e.g. Caribbean
