increase in people from ethnic minorities features in Tv soaps and dramas
Casualty, Eastenders reflect cultural diversity.
Problems with on screen portrayal of ethic minorities: presented as simplistic and one-sided picture of brit racial probs.
why? - because there arnt enough people from ethnic minorities in senior positions therefore the people making the programmes lack multi-cultural knowledge and experience.
Tv: tends to exaggerate the violence caused through racial tensions and fails to seek out voices to articulate the concerns of ordinary people from ethnic minorities.

One of the “______ is Indian” sketches…
Is funny because it takes the makes fun of the self Indian stereotype of seeing Indian culture as superior by thinking everyone/thing originated as Indian.
Also, mocks British traditions through ridiculing the monarchy by associating it with the stereotypes commonly placed against Indians.

Arranged shag..
laughing at indian arranged marriages, the 'arranged shag' ridicules the concept of arranged marriage by making it look absurd.
Also embracing stereotypes amongst indian families themselves of indian parents trying to be more 'modern' and 'English' (hence shag as opposed to marriage)
