Eastenders
In Eastenders, Kim is a representation of a black woman who has just had a baby. The father is not around and she is left to take care of the baby on her one. She is portrayed to be a single mother and this is a very stereotypical representation of black women. It plays to the stereotype that indicates a negative representation. Furthermore, the family are the only black family in Eastenders, giving a feeling of tokenism. This also plays to the pitied stereotype as the audience feels sorry for Kim as she is struggling being a single mother.
Bangkok Airport
Bangkok airport shows a positive representation of Thai people as they're portrayed to be patriotic, happy and welcoming to tourists. We see a range of different Thai people therefore the audience sees a variety of different characters, so there is no particular stereotypes created. There is no tokenism used as everyone is of the same race. They are shown to be the exotic stereotype as the audience is getting an insight into Bangkok Airport that they may not have known about before.
