Law abiding Blond, big boobs (perfect) Alcohol – wine, beer Class structure obsessed Stressed, worry a lot Talk about the weather Trailer trash/hillbillies/white trash Educated, academic, eloquent Nerdy Uptight, stiff, upper lip Dumb/stupid Playing the ‘bad guys’ in films (British men) Bitchy Size zero Different hair and eye colours ‘White men can’t jump’ Can’t run very fast Protestant/Christian Sarcastic/dry humour | Big families, small houses, single parents Big booty Hip-hop, more musical, rhythmic, gospels Afro Crimes, drugs, Can’t swim very well Dark hair and eye colours Well hung Characters die in films (Deep Blue Sea) Rappers, gangsters Relaxed, loud, bubbly, friendly, religious Power hungry (Mugabe) Cooler than white people Muscular, big lips, big noses Colour ‘black’ always mentioned in news reports Attitude, swagger, slang/lingo/patois R.P.
