Race Representation..

Race Representation.. 

For race representation, I chose to use the character 'Dev Alahan' from the soap opera Coronation  Street. The character Dev is given a positive race representation in this programme, because all though it is stereotypical by giving him the job of working in a corner shop, it is a positive representation as it shows Dev as being a business entrepreneur and not only owning a corner shop, but also a kebab shop and multiple other shops before the recession. Dev is quite a wealthy character in the TV programme and is a member of an exclusive gold club and has an expensive car, he is also a nice, friendly, family man and his race is respected in the programme and all though a stereo typical Indian character, he has a positive race representation in the media.
