Theories around ethnicity and post colonial theory - Paul Gilroy
Colonisation
Creating new settlements on different lands and claiming it (e.g. British Empire)
E.g. England colonising India introduced them to cricket and new housing styles; also introduced English to new foods
Post-Colonialism and Racial hierarchies
Establishing races in different rankings to establish a societal norm and structure. e.g. in 1800's racial hierarchy was white on top black on bottom. Used to justify slavery and other social agendas. Media products still follow colonial ideologies, and enforce racial hierarchies. Another method of forming hegemonic control.
Othering
Singling something out as different. E.g. kids without glasses bullying a kid with glasses because they're different
