剧情简介：
ETHNIC NOTIONS is Marlon Riggs' Emmy-winning documentary that takes viewers on a disturbing voyage through American history, tracing for the first time the deep-rooted stereotypes which have fueled anti-black prejudice. Through these images we can begin to understand the evolution of racial consciousness in America. Loyal Toms, carefree Sambos, faithful Mammies, grinning Coons, savage Brutes, and wide-eyed Pickaninnies roll across the screen in cartoons, feature films, popular songs, minstrel shows, advertisements, folklore, household artifacts, even children's rhymes. These dehumanizing caricatures permeated popular culture from the 1820s to the Civil Rights period and implanted themselves deep in the American psyche. Narration by Esther Rolle and commentary by respected scholars shed light on the origins and devastating consequences of this 150 yearlong parade of bigotry. ETHNIC NOTIONS situates each stereotype historically in white society's shifting needs to justify racist oppression from slavery to the present day. The insidious images exacted a devastating toll on black Americans and continue to undermine race relations. ETHNIC NOTIONS has quickly become a mainstay of university, high school, and public library collections. It is a basic audio visual text for American History, Sociology, Black Studies, Anthropology, Social Psychology, Media Studies, and any training program concerned with stereotyping and cross-cultural understanding. Approaching a complex and delicate subject with great sensitivity, ETHNIC NOTIONS equips viewers to view media and other cultural representations with a more critical eye. It's a direct challenge to those who say, "It was just a joke."
译文(2): 《种族观念》是马龙 · 里格斯(Marlon Riggs)获得艾美奖的纪录片，它带领观众走上了一段令人不安的美国历史之旅，首次追溯了助长反黑人偏见的根深蒂固的刻板印象。通过这些影像，我们可以开始了解美国种族意识的演变。《忠诚的汤姆斯》、《无忧无虑的 Sambos 》、《忠诚的妈咪》、《咧嘴笑的黑鬼》、《野蛮的畜生》、《天真的皮卡尼尼尼》等动画片、故事片、流行歌曲、吟游诗人表演、广告、民间传说、家居用品、甚至儿歌在银幕上滚动。这些非人性化的漫画从19世纪20年代到民权时期渗透到大众文化中，并深深植根于美国人的心灵之中。埃丝特 · 罗尔的叙述和受人尊敬的学者的评论阐明了这场长达150年的偏执行为的起源和破坏性后果。种族观念历史地将每一种刻板印象定位于白人社会需求的转变，以证明从奴隶制到今天的种族主义压迫是合理的。这些阴险的图像对美国黑人造成了毁灭性的伤害，并继续破坏种族关系。民族观念迅速成为大学、高中和公共图书馆藏书的主流。它是美国历史学，社会学，黑人研究，人类学，社会心理学，媒体研究，以及任何与刻板印象和跨文化理解有关的培训项目的基本视听文本。《民族观念》以极高的敏感度触及复杂而微妙的主题，使观众以更具批判性的眼光看待媒体和其他文化表现形式。这是对那些说“这只是个玩笑”的人的直接挑战
