3) How does Capital use stereotypes? Do the characters and issues represented in Capital reinforce or subvert the stereotypes we typically see in the media?
Capital uses stereotypes in a number of ways to communicate both negative and positive things about a ethnic group or class. An example of this is Kamal is presented to be a typical Asian man who runs a corner shop, however stereotypes such as him having strong family bonds is shown in the show when he is eating around a table with his family whilst on video call with a family member abroad. An example of a negative stereotype is of the white middle class family who are seen to not be interested with the working class and have little interest in community and in the working class.
