Crash

The past couple of days in class we have been watching a movie called Crash and it looks at explicit and implicit racism. One example of explicit racism is when the police officer assumes the black kid is reaching for a weapon when he was just ice skating. Another topic the movie shows is stereotypes, one stereotype in the movie is how they pulled over the navigator because they thought it would be a rich white person but it ended up to be a black man. Another stereotype that carries even to other movies is how black people are usually the main people doing the crime and we see it in a lot of movies. I myself have been stereotyped because people think I am good at soccer just because I'm Mexican, another one is that people think I eat tacos at home everyday. They start to  get annoying and start to offend me after a while. So that is why I try to not have stereotypes against other people.
