how is the traveller lifestyle mediated

watching the clips you see a sense of the lifestyle with the 'voice overs' like Snatch which are of a middle class white woman with a british accent which makes us relate more to her and see the gypsy culture as more alien.
The poster was titled 'bigger, fatter, gypsier' which caused contraversy and serious offence to the traveller society but to those outside it seemed just like a good slogan, but we didn't take into account that it could be seen as 'racist' because they wouldn't say 'bigger, fatter, blacker' or 'bigger, fatter, more asian' etc
