Crash

Crash is about implicit racism in our diverse country. In the movie there were the Blacks, the Asians, the Whites, the Middle Eastern, and the Hispanics. Each group was profiled and stereotyped in different ways. Sal brought up the point about what we learn about the Asian man at the end of the movie, that he's trafficking people. As a society, we typically view Asians in a positive stereotype. The two Black guys who were stealingcars were even discussing how they were being profiled and that the White woman walked closer to her husband when they got closer. Ironically, the two black men jacked the couple's car. Later in the movie, Terrance Howard's charcter, Cameron, tells Ludacris' charcter (Anthony) that he embarassed both of them. I think what he's trying to say is that Anthony slipped into the black stereotype when he should be trying to stay away from its negative ideas. The best way to reduce racism in our lives is to just be open minded and ignore sterotypes.
