Racism

Racism has been a part of our culture for far too long, and has affected people’s lives in ways that are unexplainable. People may sometimes only believe that racism happens between whites and blacks, but in truth, racism is a universal problem, and includes people of all cultures and backgrounds. The thing is, just one or two people cannot stop the world from being prejudice. The whole world would need to put aside their differences and get along with one another. Honestly, the odds are very slim to nothing that the whole world is going to get along with each other any time soon. Racism affects many people of different races every day because

The movie Crash, which was released in the United States in 2004, is all about racism between people of multiple races. Even though Crash may be one movie, there are different stories tied together in the story line. The movie starts with Rick and Jean trying to get into their

Plus, from my knowledge, people hold grudges against a race, in general, because of things that they have experienced or seen someone that they know experience from someone of a particular race. This is known as stereotyping. They do not just hold this grudge against the person that hurt or offended them; they hold it against the race as a whole. Someone may think that just because one person acts a certain way, they all act that way. In my opinion, Crash depicts the way the world is today.
There were specific parts of Crash that really expressed the way a racist mind thinks. In the movie, Jean was prejudice against everyone that was not white because of what had transpired in her life. The confrontations that she had with people of a different race offended her in a way that was unalterable. Now she is taking that out on their whole race. This is not fair,
