Crash

This week in class we talked about the topic of racism.  We watched the movie "Crash" this week in order to show racism in the real world.   Even though this movie was fictional, it did a very good job of illustrating how racist people are in real life.  Included in this movie were people from all different racial groups including mexicans, african americans, persians and whites.  Also in this movie were clear examples of implicit and explicit racism.  This was especially shown through the white characters in the movie such as Sandra Bullock and the gun store owner.  After seeing this movie I am able to see the racism that goes on all around the world and how minorities, especially, are affected by it every day.

  1. I agree, the movie does show how racism can affect many different people, and how our actions can have large ripple effects.
