ABSTRACT
This research analyzed the discrimination issue that happened in Hidden
Figures film. The researcher only analyzed and discussed the discrimination that
happened to African-American people. The discrimination in the film mostly
happened to three main characters in the film. They are Dorothy Vaughan, Mary
Jackson and Kathrine Goble. The purposes of this study are to reveal and explain
the types of discrimination that happened to these three African-American women
and to understand their responses against it.
The researcher used mimetic approach and descriptive qualitative method
in this research. To classify the types of discrimination, the researcher used the
theory declared by Bowling and Phillips. They said that discrimination is divided
into direct and indirect discrimination. And direct discrimination appeared in a form
of gender, race/color, religion, national origin, disability, and body size/shape
discrimination. After analyzed the types of discrimination, the researcher analyzed
the types of response that the African-American people do against the
discrimination that happened to them. The researched used Feagin’s and Sikes’s
theory who proposed four responses against discrimination. There were withdrawal,
resign acceptance, verbal confrontation and physical confrontation.
Based on the analysis, the researcher found that there were only race/color
discrimination and gender discrimination that happened in the story. The
discrimination in this film was done by white people against African-American
people. The analysis also showed that at first, the victims responded to the
discrimination by withdrawal, followed by resign acceptance, and ended by verbal
confrontation. In the film, the analysis shows that after verbal confrontation, white
people no longer discriminated African-American people for their race or gender.
Key words: Discrimination, race, gender, African-American
