Hi all!
Today, I would like to talk about the problem of discrimination that is often associated with different people coming from a diversity of places and cultural backgrounds, which also happened in the film “Bend it like Beckham.”
In the film, there was a time when Jess's father talked about how he was discriminated by the coaches and the players in a local cricket club that he wanted to join. The reason why he was treated by the others in that way was not because of his lack of skills in cricket, but because of the fact that he was an Indian wearing the Turban. This experience that Mr. Bharma had with the cricket team led to the reason why he objected Jess to join the soccer team. Also, in one of the games, there was a girl in the opposite team who called Jess "Paki", which is a term that English refers to South Asians, including Indians, in a disrespectful manner.
In conclusion, as shown in the movie, discrimination and racism, are often the issues that one may encounter when one moves to a new region or environment.
Have you ever had problems like those?
