Crash

We watched the movie Crash in soc a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed the movie and thought it was very interesting. A lot of sterotyping they were doing is true to how people think today. In the movie the young black men were portrayed as gang member that steal and do bad things. A lot of people today think the same about young African Americans down town and other place. Also the white women was looked at as racist and scared of other races. For example, when a lock man was mexican, she made sure that she got a new lock the next day because she said that one of his homies was going to get a key and go into the house and seal stuff. Another example is when the mexican man told the arab man that he needed a new door and the Arab man didn't believe him, leaving to his store being broken into later, causing the Arab man to almost kill the Mexican mans family. I think that ts really sad that so many people have sterotypes about other people and I wish we could somehow break the feelings we have about others.
