With regards to 'who' is being represented in this extract I think it is in fact the black race who are being represented in this extract and we can here this by the use of words that aer being said throughout the radio extract, such as; coloured and mulatto. What the extract also talks about is racial violence which talks about two races fighting each other which once again could refer to the black race which is being represented here in this is extract.
With regards to 'what' is being represented in this extract I think that the racial violence is being represented in this extract and not only this but also the subject of immigration pops up in the radio extract as well which is always a bad subject to talk about when referring to the black race as it does nothing but cause arguments. To me this radio extract is focusing all of its energy on only representing the black race inside the racial violence and I think it fails to represent the other race which is involved and which is not in fact mentioned at all within the radio extract.
I think the representation is communicated through the use of language and the words used. For example when referring to the black community and their part in the racial violence the radio extract refers to them as 'invading'. Now this is a term often used with war and entering a territory where they do not belong. This ca also be linked with the fact that the radio extract mentions immigration a topic often used in arguments between races and what I think is that the radio extract is communicating to it's audience that there is only one villain in the racial violence and that is the black community as it fails to mention why the riots started, it fails to mention who the other race is within the racial violence and finally it fails to mention that there are violence on both sides. So with regards to this in my eyes all this radio extract is doing is showing bad representations of the black race and be biased towards one community.
