Race

Casualty

In Casualty there is a positive portrayal of race because their is a female asian who is a a consultant. This is positive and not normally shown because she is a woman and also asian yet she is in charge. Another positive is that her name is 'Zoe' which isn't a stereotypical asian name, which is rare on TV, for example on Eastenders their are names such as Zainab, Massood and Tamwar. As she is one of the only other races different from white english, this could be seen as tokenism. She is shown as a humorous character because she does things like drinking alcohol and smoking which stereotypically is not what asians would do.

Eastenders

In Eastenders their is a black single mum, this is a negative representation of black women. This is stereotypical because on TV usually their are more single black women mums because the dad hasn't stayed around. She is shown as pitied because the audience feel sorry for her because she is struggling as a single mum.
