Different social groups are represented in different
ways in television dramas.
For example in EastEnders on 11th
September 2012, Ray Dixon (played by Chucky Venn) he is the chef in the famous 'Queen Victoria Pub' he came into conflict with a white police officer. They were stood just a few feet away from a train bridge going across a road. The police car was driving pasted and pulled over and asked Ray to take off his jumper after a robbery had been reported.
In Ray's eyes he saw he was being singled out because he was black, and wearing a baggy jumper. This rises questions about is the police force racist. Or did they have a valid reason for stopping and searching him.
Mo Harris an underdog of the square and no stranger to the police, witnessed the whole thing. He helped ray pick up his stuff after he'd been searched and the police had driven off. This shows the tight community spirit of the EastEnders community.
