We live in time period where making racist jokes to our friends or in songs doesn’t start a repeat of the 1960s. However most signs of racism are done incognito. It’s proven possible that skin color determines how the person is perceived throughout life. In the movie, Crash, being white, black, Muslim, Asian, or Mexican is not looked at positively. If you’re white you want to bust every black and Mexican person. Call every Muslim Osama, think every Asian is good. If you’re black you either hate or kiss up to white people. Going to a big high school, I’ve never really experienced any racism for having different colored skin. People don’t deicide if their friends with you based on the color of your skin but rather what actions you do to make you liked. Unfortunately, I think you have to judge someone in order to be wrong about them. The rich black man in the movie didn’t believe that the young cop was helping him because he was white. I believe that you have to crash into someone and feel their pain before you can feel the burning desire to accept them as a human being.
