In the first episode of freak it shows the girl who is dressed like a boy, taking off her clothes and giving it to her step-brother. The girl is something of being mixed-race and the boys ethnicity is white. Here we can obviously see as the audience that they are not related.
The stereotype of the mixed race ethnicity is that they they may be weird to other ethnicity's as they are mixed race. stereotypes of this ethnicity is that they maybe quite and shy, or either loud and quite confident. The type that is represented in this clip is that the girl is very quite and shy, a girl that keeps her self to her self. Another stereotype is that maybe an outcast to the white ethnicity. See can be seen by the way that step brother and the other white man in the cinema screening with her. Her step-brother sees her a 'freak' as like likes to dress and look like a boy. This can be portrayed as another stereotype of this ethnicity, showing that they may weird.
At the end of this episode the girl beats all the boys on an online computer game. The boys think that she is a boy, and so let her play. she then beats them all, after seeing that she is a girl and a different in ethnicity they classify her as a freak.
This episode shows the difference between the two ethnicity's. It shows the white ethnicity, as loud and fun, all about partying. This is seen when all white people are around a pool drinking and talking. Whilst the mixed-race girl is in the cinema watching what seems to be a documentary film. The girl was not invited to this party, showing that it maybe due to her ethnicity. Again this is another stereotype, as not all mixed-race people are like this, and so are exaggerating her role.
An archtype of the mixed-race girl is that they genrally get more experience of nature. this is known as they come from a bigger and less developed in industry country. this means they have more fields, which they can experience. Again this ethnicity contrasts with the white ethnicity, showing that the boy hasn't had experience of nature, and is used to playing online computer games.
In these clips it shows this ethnicity as being negative, it portrays the girl, as a 'freak' as she is dressed like a boy and acts like a boy. This is also a negative as not all mixed-race ethnicity's are like this and so, only represents a small majority.
