ResumoThis article examines the discursive practices presented in Shrek 2. We apply a critical discourse analysis lens while focusing on the way animated versions of Latinos and African Americans are portrayed. In particular, the essay focuses on Shrek, Donkey, and Puss-in-Boots and the various stereotypical language discourses they reproduce. The essay then makes a comparison between the animated film and the current reproduction of racist ideologies that mirror the positions of minoritized people in U.S. society.
