Descendants Stereotypes and Discrimination in "Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck" Movie

Stereotypes in culture are interesting to discuss because we can remember the existence of multiculturalism around us. Manstead and Hewstone (1996:628) in The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Social Psychology, define stereotypes as socially shared beliefs about characteristics (such as personality traits, expected behaviors, or personal values) that are considered true of social groups and their members. Stereotypes about some of the things that Manstead and Hewstone mention are contained in the film Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck. Stereotypes are a person's judgment based solely on the perception of the group in which that person can be categorized (Robbins, Stephen P., Timothy A, 2010). Stereotypes in this essay are between pure Minangkabau descent and mixed Minangkabau descent. Between the two have different gaps, especially the throne and the level of honor. People of pure Minangkabau descent are considered worthy to live and set foot on Minangkabau land, while Minangkabau mixed blood is considered not on their part.
