CRASH

This week in class we saw a movie called Crash. It covered the topic of racism. Racism causes hatred, sadness, anger, and violence. For example, when the African American men in the movie went to a restaurant and came out, one was mad that he didn't well because of his race.  Another example, was when the white woman wanted to change the locks on the door after a Hispanic man installed them. She thought that he was going to rob her house, but really he is a kind man with a daughter and wife. The Hispanic man overheard the white woman and gave the extra keys to her, but he felt sad. This movie also gives out a lot of stereotypes, like in the beginning of the movie when there was a car accident between an Asian woman and a Hispanic woman.  The Asian woman was accused of bad driving because of her race.  There are a lot of racist stereotypes today that can hurt people, so we should decrease it.
