b. What (if any) stereotypes are expressed in these movies? How so?
c. Compare and contrast the three movies.
d.Thinking about these movies, and being analytic, step back and identify at least two of the following concepts that can be used as a framework to discuss the way that race and ethnicity was represented in the movies: colonization, exploitation, class, structure, culture, acculturation, assimilation, colorblindness, gentrification, segregation, immigration, intersectionality, social mobility, inequality.
