The research method used were descriptive qualitative and content analysis to identify how the concepts of racism, stereotypes, and power displayed in the film's narrative.

The results of this study provide deep insight into how racism was presented in entertainment media and its impact on social consciousness. It was found 12 acts of discrimination that has been divided into 4 four types such as verbal antagonism, avoidance, segregation, and physical attack.
