CRASH!

question 1: Matt Dillon's racism was more harsh at first that the woman married to the senator (Sandra Bullock) Also, the cop learned very early on about being racist and how he affects others can turn back to him. Sandra bullock's character learned this a little later when she fell down the stairs and no one would help. I don't really know where sandra's racism came from but I could see where the cop's came from, with his fathers conditions.

questions 2: the mexican was accused of getting his homeboys and breaking into the lady's house and the man's store. This made him feel bad because he even moved out of bad neighborhoods to get away from people like that but no one could see that. Also, the black man was accused of causing problems when he got pulled over, when really he was being cooperative. This made him frustrated because he really was being complient, but there was nothing he could do to make the police see that.

question 3: There are still a lot of racists in America. I wish there was something we could do about it, but there will always be people who think they are better than everyone else and that some people are just low. This will never end because those who are racist now will most likely influence their kids and it will keep going on like a chain event.

question 4: stereotypes somewhat come from reaality, however the facts are stretched past the truth. For example, most arabians or indians who come to America become taxi drivers or small store clerks. It doesn't mean that all are; however, it is obvious that it is true that there are a lot of arabs who drive taxis or indians who are store clerks. Even in the movie the arab was the owner of a small business and he worked as the clerk.

question 5: I don't think it is natural in our genes to be racist. I think that racism is all mental and it is influenced and taught by parents and other people while kids grow up. You will usually take the same views your parents hold.

question 6: Like I previously said, I think that race is taught by parents. The force their own views on their kids, which in turn, makes them racist. There is some racism on T.V. but not so much the hateful racism. Its more of the comedy racism. Most of what you learned about your views on racism came from your parents.

question 7: I hope that racism ends but unfortunately I don't think it will any time soon. People are just too stuck on the fact that not all people are equal and some think they are superior. I think that overall racism will subside but it will never truly be eliminated... at least not for a long long time. (which is sad) As long as people are open minded and teach others, including their kids, not to be racist and be accepting, it will get better.
