The purpose of this research is to classify the kinds of racial discrimination that often appear in the film using the theory of Pincus (1996) to find the kinds of racial discrimination suffered by the main characters. This study also found the impact of racial discrimination from three aspects, namely psychological, social, and economic. In this research, we used a qualitative descriptive method.

The psychological impact suffered by the main characters is stress, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction with their lives. The social impact is that black people often get violent. And finally, the economic impact is the low job position and low salary of black people in the Hidden Figures film.
