Crash

Crash was movie that really showed how everyone creates stereotypes, and some create stereotypes on themselves. I think the pervey police officer was a frusterating character to watch because he is clearly racist against black people, but he ends up hating himself for judging the black race. After he saved the woman that he recently molested from a car accident, you can tell the woman is dissapointed in him because she can tell that he can be a good person if he wanted to, but he chooses to treat the black race with disrespect. Another character I really liked was the one Ludacris played. He's so angry at society for judging what kind of person he is by his race, yet he's following the stereotypes that society creates. His friend was someone who understood that people are all related, and that we're not that different from eachother, but for some reason we feel we have to segment ourselves by race. To help people look past race, we need to start looking at every person as a complete individual. This means we would have to look past race, and be able to listen to eachother with out making assumptions.
