Olympic ceremony

The Olympic ceremony opening in London 2012 subverted Alverado and Fanon theories by using a mixed race family in the opening ceremony, the husband did not fit in under any of the titles that Alverado mentions, the family come across as civilised and acceptable, they also used a mixed race girl and a black boy as two of the main characters in the sketch on music genres, however on the family, this may not be very realistic as in the uk we know that many mixed race homes don't tend to be so stable, causing children to only have one parent, the representation of London and Britain as a whole was positive however more right winged citizens would say that this is an outrage and that the NHS should not have been glorified, and that a mixed race family should never be promoted, some of the things shown could of been shown as what London wanted to be seen like, a more idealistic view rather than a realistic one.
