| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to describe the portrayal of racial discrimination as shown
in Solomon and Patsey characters of 12 Years A Slave movie. In order to do so, this
study used Allport’s theory of intentional, explicit discrimination focusing on
several types of racial discrimination such as verbal antagonism, avoidance,
segregation, physical attacks, and extermination. The data used in this study were
words in forms of narration, dialogue, and action related to the portrayal of racial
discrimination towards Solomon and Patsey characters that were taken from 12
Years A Slave movie script. This study showed that the portrayal of racial
discrimination as shown in Solomon and Patsey characters of 12 Years A Slave
movie was classified into five types of intentional, explicit discrimination
behaviours such as verbal antagonism, avoidance, segregation, physical attacks,
and extermination. On one hand, the portrayal of racial discrimination as shown in
Solomon character was included as verbal antagonism, avoidance, segregation,
physical attacks, and extermination. On the other hand, the portrayal as shown in
Patsey character was a bit different since Patsey did not experience any
segregation treatment. This study concluded the portrayal of racial discrimination
as shown in Solomon and Patsey characters occured as the result of white
supremacy ideology as the basis thinking and belief of most white characters in the
movie.
