In Foxy Brown, stereotypes were not new. Foxy Brown was the protagonist of the film, but she also played a mafia handmaiden when she infiltrated the organization as a sex slave. Link Brown represented the "ghetto", he was a street hustler, he represented an uneducated black man, looking for a way out in the bad areas. Stereotypes are used to validate perceptions that have prevailed in society. It is a form of control and repression of a subject's unconscious desires. A form of defense mechanism according to Berger. Berger explains that this type of defense is part of the ego's instinct to control and ward off the anxieties of those carrying out the repression. Repression is the barrier between the conscious and the unconscious so as not to mix and make people aware of the real anxiety of the inconvenience if it occurs.
