Abstract

The phenomenon of hate speech is increasingly widespread in the digital era, due to the increasing number of people expressing opinions, suggestions and criticisms through internet platforms. This study aims to elucidate the types of hate speech, to evaluate realization and explain the reason of hate speech in Howard Stern Show Instagram comments. This study used a descriptive qualitative method using the theory of types of hate speech by Mondal (2017) and realization or intentions by Kreidler (2002). The research data are in the form of comments from the Howard Stern Show Instagram account. This research shows that there were 71 data that have been found, from all the data there were 5 types of hate speech out of 10 types, namely 29 comments (40,8 %) for type of Behavior, 16 comments (22,5%) for type of Physical, 5 comments (7,0%) for type of Sexual Orientation, 2 comments (2,8%) for type of Class and 19 comments (26,7%) for type of other. However, for the realizations or intentions of hate speech, all comments contain all intentions that can be categorized. There were 24 comments (33.8%) with the intention of mocking, 4 comments (5.6%) with the intention of accusing, 2 comments (2.8%) with the intention of blaming, 34 comments (47.9%) with the intention of insulting and 7 comments (9.9%) for the intention of insinuating. In general, the reasons someone gives hate speech was due to three things namely in the commentator there is negative prejudice against certain people or groups, then hate speech can come from someone who has trolling behavior, and finally hate speech is also driven by conditions in the internet world. Therefore, it was concluded that there were many comments containing hate speech in the comments column in one of Howard Stern Show's Instagram posts.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were 1) to investigate the pattern of stereotype analysis appeared in Passing movie, 2) to describe characters response the stereotypes that is aimed at them in the movie Passing, 3) to explain the reason characters in Passing movie confront stereotypes instead of conforming. The data in this study are taken from sentences in dialog and scripts contained in the film Passing. 1) There were three types of stereotype patterns according to Brand and Reyna's (2011) theory depicted in the movie Passing. The three types are: Internal/controllable/stable (63.20%) followed by, Internal/uncontrollable/stable (25.50%), and External/uncontrollable/stable (11.3%). 2) The types of resistance reflected in the movie Passing based on King's (2010) theory are Acquiescence (35.71%) followed by Violence (35.71%), and Non-Violence (28.57%). 3) There were three reasons why Black individuals accept stereotypes instead of conforming, based on King's (2010) theory. The first reason is the fear of retaliation, which can lead to conflict. The second reason is a lack of educational awareness, which suggests that white individuals tend to have a broader perspective compared to black people. The third reason is the lack of resources in terms of legal support and financial stability.
