Representation of issues

Representation of issues: Racism 

Racism
The first text is a internet article about a group of students who tried to enter a night club, but they were told no because the club had a rule on the amount of black people who were in the club on a single night. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3090699/Student-claims-bouncer-barred-friends-nightclub-black.html)

The article compares the incident to the treating of black people during the 1960's, from a quote from one of the victims Kosi Orah; "It was sickening... it was like the kind of incident you heard about happening in parts of America in the 1960's". The comparing of the incident to extreme racism in the 60's helps put the audience into perspective about how serious and offensive the incident was for the offended.  The text also includes a video of the incident with the bouncer of the night club giving his reasons for not allowing the group of boys to enter and also quotes from the incident.

The article has highlighted that the police are issuing an arrest pending further investigation, showing how racism isn't tolerated in our modern society. The seriousness of how the incident has been handled shows how racism is not accepted anymore and more people are becoming aware of how it needs to be obliterated.

The paper (encoder of the text) has took a serious approach to racism showing they are against it as they are outlining the mass negative it is, along with this incident the internet article has links to other articles that are based on a similar subject.

Another text that wants to obliterate racism is a video from the European Football Federation UEFA - https://youtu.be/VZ-63TwoL1g.

The video published on UEFA's official YouTube account, involves a series of different iconic footballers (male and female) with their own ethnical backgrounds and faith all sharing the same ideology, that racism needs to be kicked out of football. The video wants to get the message across that as a sport football should take on the responsibility to help stop racism
