Alvarado
- Pity - An immigrant family having a small place in a suburban area, coming from a Nigerian background to have a better life for themselves. It is the black community, an ethnic minority that has to live in an impoverished area due to lack of money.
- Humorous - The brother that has come straight from Nigeria is comedic due to the stark differences in lifestyle and personality to that of society who have lived in the London suburbs their entire life. Clothing is also very humorous due to it being tacky e.g. socks with sandals Even the protagonist who seems to have lived in the area for his whole life, being a second generation immigrant, who is portrayed as comedically at times, e.g walking into a pole.
- Exotic- The different accents is very exotic and different from the typical english/ 'chavvy' accent. The clothing of the mother is especially very different from 'normal' clothes that everyone is wearing due to the bright colours and detailed patterns that represent her exotic heritage
- Dangerous - The violent nature of one of the actresses boyfriend, conventional trait seen in the media of a black man wearing a hoodie and a cap.
Fanon
- Infantilise - The protagonist is shown to be simple-minded as his problems are revolving around wanting a girlfriend and avoiding embarrassment from his brother. There are no serious issues explored in the movie.
- Primitive - The brother displays natural rhythm by instantly making a catchy song that the man in the chicken shop can easily sing a long to. The protagonist also has a similar trait as he is dancing in his room
- Decivilise - All the young characters are portrayed to be gangsters or chavs with their stereotypical clothing and the violence that the boys playing football shows towards the protagonist.
- Essentialize - Female actress assumed that the brother was not speaking english because of his accent, following the assumption that the brother is a foreigner who cant speak other languages.
