Below is a summary of your comments on the poem "Mr Oxford Don".
  • Black people are stereotyped through their language "Assault on the Oxford Dictionary"; "mugging the Queen's English".
  •  People who speak Jamaican creole living in Britain are victimised, ridiculed and stereotyped due to the fact that they don't speak in the way of an "Oxford don" would.
  • They are stereotyped as being violent.
  • They are made to appear unintelligent.
