Crash

The racism in the movie is shocking. I have never seen this kind of racism either in person or in a movie and I was appalled. However, this is a sad fact of our society. Racism exists. Race exists. Race is not even real. People only have different color skin because of where they come from in the world. How much sun they get is a big determinant. Race is used as a skapegoat. I have seen racist and prejudice acts before such as racist jokes or jewish jokes or christian jokes but never have i seen racism to this extent. The fact that there are entire groups organized across multiple continents that endorse a raceal view is amazing. Race as a part of our social construction is inherent in us. Now that we are consious of the implicit racism we must try to change it.

Are We Nauturally Racist??

The ovious answer to this question is NO. We have moved on from the days of the Civil War and race riots and everyone is now and equal citizen. But this may not be as straighforward as we think it is. After seeing one of our classmates take and implicit racism test, we see that even in our world, people are inherintely racist without intending to be. We have been socially constructed to believe that WASPs are the most inherintly good and it goes downhill from there, ending in ethinic and darker skinned people. The doll test reaffirmed this implicit racism, showhing that no matter what race you are, you are taught from a very young age that white is good. This is a problem because every reace has good and bad traits. Therefore all races should be respected equally.
