Post-Colonialism 

The representations of ethnicity that we had saw within the clip was mixed cultures being displayed within the clip. One of the ways in which this was shown through the clip was when the girls were going to a party and their were a mixed representation of cultures being displayed. However this can relate to Fannons theory of putting on a white mask. The reason for this would be that in order for the black women who are being represented in the clip would need to fit in by getting all dressed up and following the tradition which is based in London by getting ready and going out on a Friday night for example a party or clubbing. This then shows the way in which people inside of London live their lives in order to "fit in". Furthermore also the representation of culture within the Olympics opening ceremony show a mixed family culture as you see a mixed of a black child who is on his Nintendo Ds and then you have a white mum who comes to get him to come inside. This then connotes to the audience the different cultures which are based within London. The clip would also promote a anti racism campaign as they would provide a multi-cultured cast within the opening ceremony which would vary from all around the world. This would then be done in order to show the representation of London, London is seen to be city with all kind of races as they not only live here but also, everyone within London mix with other cultures, this is shown through the different cultured girls going out on a night out.
