Olympics Opening Ceremony ..

The Olympics Opening Ceremony contains a range of representations of race and ethnicity of black and white people in modern cultural. The opening is a rounded up positive representations of families in Britain. From the beginning a mixed race family are portrayed as a happy family, sitting around the table ready for dinner which is a positive representation of families nowadays however to what extend is this representation true? It can be argued that this is a false representation of a mixed race family through the simple fact that normal families majority of the time aren't has happy as being portrayed, but in fact quite the opposite. Looking at Alvardo's theory of the four main categories "other" cultural people - pitted, humorous, dangerous and exotic and Fanon's theory of the white mask, as traditional British families should have partners of the same cultures whereas the opening represents a typical British family in the modern world mixed race.
