Diversity in 42

In the film 42, we see the perspective of Jackie Robinson and everything going on in his time involving racism, gender and race role, diversity in school, sports, and everywhere pretty much. Jackie Robinson is the first African American to be a part of Major League Baseball, and throughout all the films, books, newspapers, tv programs, we all truly did not see what all were hiding of the truth of how Jackie Robinson dealt or went through all these things and how dismantled the system truly was. In the 1930's Civil Rights groups, communist, Negro Press, and white activist all began campaigns to integrate the game of baseball. It was more or less a type of movement for discrimination in housing, society and jobs. All lead for a federal anti-lynching laws, boycotts against stores who were segregated, marches for blacks to join WWII. A term at the time used by many white shop owner was "Dont shop where you cant work", which created many hate crimes and distruption of those who were colored even just walking the streets at any time of the day.

Many people in matter of time always wish they could go back and live in the 50's 70's and 90's, but do not realize the chaos and harm the people had to go through at those times. Making a difference is something, but living without doing anything is something else as we are raised to accept people and who they are, once given the right to speak freely of our mind, the sky has no limit. Seeing someone struggle, is the least thing we want out of this world, only time and ourselves can make up for the past mistakes and create hope for what has yet to come.

Diversity in Rugrats

In the TV Show/ Films of Rugrats we see the capability of babies living life with each other and their families having fun and growing up together. It isn't until we see the background of each family that we begin to see diversity in the men and women or relatives of each of the children. Tommy, the leader of the babies has a stay at home mom and and his father a Inventor/Architect who struggles to even hold a job while his wife stays at home taking care of Tommy and his friends. Stu Pickles, Tommy's dad has been working in and out as a inventor and could not hold up jobs one after another, we see the diverse of women and men as even Tommy's mom "wears the pants around the house"keeping it in order but not even trying to get a job herself. Later we see the other parents of Tommy's friend all washed up in work some fathers struggling even staying at home, and the mother of Angelica is a lawyer who pushes around Angelica's father as well as she makes more money than him.

Later throughout the series we begin to see more diversity in Race a Black family and a Japanese single mother with children are introduced to Tommy and his friends and the stereotypes began to grow. The Black family appeared to struggle alongside with Tommy's parents but the father had a funny laugh and always made jokes out loud and being the funny one of the group. The Japanese woman with her child was portrayed as her husband being a deadbeat know how women are escorts "Shimushu" in the Japanese culture. All play different roles from diverse in family events, job roles, children growing, environment, it all concluded from the beginning of time how stereotypes and diversity played a big role even in young television shows for children it influenced many young children and families to play the roles of society and continues to grow and lead to diverse roles in men and women in the world.

Diversity in Stand and Deliver

In the film Stand and Deliver, we see the lives of a class full of Mexican American Students, who's teacher does his best to influence each of them to take the SAT and get into a good college, which leads to only about 15-20 kids left in the class, all struggling with gangs, families, work, and each other. Edward James Olmo plays a teacher who see's the lives of each of his student every single day, from gang rivalry fights during school, to physical abuse from events at home and relations of children leading to misconduct between students. The diversity throughout the film in both men and women of Latino race grew to influence many Mexican Americans. The connection of the families, gangs, struggle with school in both the young men and women played a major role of what people actually thought how hard Mexican Americans worked, and created a sense of role of men and women not just in this race but other cultures affected by it. Edward James Olmo did a fantastic job in showing the diversity of both men and women growing to be better in the Mexican Culture rising to expectations and rising to what men and women are meant to do regardless of what anyone else says.

In some events in the movie, we follow a young man named Angel Guzman who is in a gang and his members are in the same class as Edward James Olmo's class which is meant to last for only those who wish to succeed and grow in the program, but eventually he catches onto the members and drops them leading to Angel to leave his gang and his members creating much trouble for him and his reasons to even try to get out of the gang and get a better future. The diversity young Mexican men of being forced into gangs due to the environment is what keeps stereotypical assumptions of all races, creating hope and proof that anyone can change and greater themselves from what there is thought and assumed of them in the world, diversity in men and women will end and there is living poof of it today as many will excel in themselves to change and create a better tomorrow for those who are waiting to change,

Diversity in Zoot Suit

In the film Zoot Suit, we follow the steps of Henry Reyna, a 18 year old Zoot Suiter, who has decided to join the navy and leave his gang. The time is early 1940's, where the diversity in Mexican American's and whites continued to grow as gang affiliated violence grew to disrupt citizens and the law every single day. From the beginning of the movie we see an alter ego of himself, more evil and doing what he wants alongside him. In the film wee see gang violence that leads to Henry Reyna and his gang to be sent to jail, where they are put against the odds and the court, jury, police, are all to get them put in prison for a long time. In the court room, there is already diverse and prejudice toward the Hispanic men who are being falsely charged with murder and must continue to stand down while the judge does not let them speak for what they are being accused of. A woman named Alice, who is a communist Jewish woman, has fought for cases like this involving race, unequal rights, and discrimination of any type.

The Zoot Suiter riots took place while Henry and his gang were in prison, and it created mayhem, sailors would beat men of color for no reason and take their women. While the war was going, in LA the gang and white violence grew, gangs actually wanted to join together to fight the sailors, but pride and respect got in the way regardless of color. As the months progress the case keeps on getting more and more publicity leading it to be dropped. The diversity of religion, ethnicity, appearance, and language each person in the film had was directed to every single one of them. In the end once they were released, the press was confronted by them, and they called Henry and his gang "Zoot Suiters" but the real term they wanted to use against those of brown skin or Hispanics, was Chapaco, dirty Mexicans, to try and drive them out. Eventually, the charges and acquisitions formed were ridiculous enough to be forgotten and ended the Zoot Suit Riots.
