In the clips as we witness three black males talking about guys skinny jeans. They refer to men who wear skinny jeans to be 'gay' as they strongly believe that women only should be the ones only wearing clothing as such. After slagging of the white male they talk about their heritage in a comedic way. The way in which they do it is by talking about their genital area size and how they've impregnated every race to create people like the Portuguese, mixed race etc. Alvarado's theory of the four main representations of black people can be applied to this text which is exotic, humorous, pitted and dangerous. In the text we're able to establish that the three black males come across as humorous, exotic and dangerous. They are perceived as dangerous in the way they are dressed and the look that they have. Furthermore, the place where they are talk is commonly associated with gang violence, robbery which is an estate area. In the second clip we witness the exotic side to the representation of black people. For instance, when the guys brother is coming out from the car and starts signing in the chicken shop. We witness his younger brother who is fairly quiet which isn't common for a young black man to be represented in that sense therefore; we could potentially link it to the fact that he's putting on 'the white mask' which links to Fanon's theory.
