Today in class we started the movie "Crash" which so far has put me on the edge of my seat. The movie gives you a slap in the face to our societies view on race which is all so relevant in many of our lives today. Every single incident distinguishing race is something that I can relate to in terms of knowing/seeing the stereotype being used. In just the first scene of the movie, a female hit by an asian female proceeds to insult the woman for being a "typical" "bad asian driver" which is not at all true because there is no statistics stating in any way that asian drivers let alone asian female drivers are more likely to cause an accident then a white male/female. Stereotypes like these are things that make our society sickening at times.
