3) One of the examples of Capital subverting stereotypes is the African woman who is presented as a hard working women even though she is an immigrant which contrasts with the media's depiction of immigrants as lazy and work-shy who are benefitting from the benefits that they receive from the government. One of the examples of Capital reinforcing stereotypes is with the Pakistani family as being shop owners which is a stereotype that is used in the media a lot.
