1. The cop in the beginning was a racist pig. He pulled over the black couple b/c they were doing inappropriate things in the car. He then proceeded to make the situation a bigger deal then it was supposed to be by molesting the lady. The husband couldn't do anything or else he was going to be in big trouble. The cop treated the lady badly and she hated him for that. When she was driving home she was in a huge car crash. He was the cop that she had to trust to save her. At first she didnt trust him or want anything to do with him. He gained her trust and saved her with only seconds to spare. His co partner hated the cop because he was so racist so he asked to not be with him anymore after the incident with the black couple. When the husband got his car almost stolen by the other black characters the other partner helped him out and saved him from getting into trouble.
2. The mexican man was stereotyped in two different ways by two different people. The shopowner didnt trust him and when the mexican man said he fixed the lock but the door was the thing that needed fixing the shopowner didnt believe him and said he was trying to con him. The key fixer was right and people broke into the shop and trashed it. The shopowner found out where the key man lived and was about to shoot at the key man when his daughter ran in front of the bullet which shot at her. Thankfully the bullet wasnt a one that shoots at people and she was safe.
The white lady also didnt trust the key man so once her doors had new keys she told her husband that she didnt trust him and that they have to change the locks the next day. She thought that he would give the keys to his "gang" friends and then they would rob their house. The key man moved to that area to get away from that kind of stuff. She was being racist towards him.
3. When i saw this movie it was so discusting. 90% of the characters were ignorant racist pigs. If there was a situation where they could be racist they were. Like the white women clung to her husband when she saw the black men. But that caused the black people to be racist and steal there car. No one was right in that situation and they were both racist. I believe most americans are racist. They identify people by skin color and they make there judgements based on that alone sometimes. I hope this will change and the day when people look past skin color and different cultures and just the reality that all humans are different then that will be the day that america wont be racist. I believe that that day will never happen. Its sad. It makes me so upset. I mean its just a color! thats it! nothing more simple. and its sad that america cant look past that.
4. Stereotypes come from the beginning of time when people had differnces. When people saw that there are different people that arent the same as them is when people started to judge and stereotype. For example in the beginning of the movie there was a car crash with an asian lady and the white lady. There is a stereotype that says that asians are bad drivers and the white lady was rude to the lady and it wasnt even the asians ladys fault. I have no idea where theese sterotypes come from but they are here and we have to deal with them. One day i hope there will be a change.
5. Humans have brains and they identify and classify and remember things. It is normal to regonize skin color diffrerences. The brain studys patterns and that is common reasons for stereotypes. It is natural in our genes to see differnces and act upon them.
6.The media and your family has a lot to do about how race is learned. In school we learn about diffrenet races and cultures and we see all of the diffrences positive but in the media there sometimes is racist things and comments that teach america bad behaviors and brainwash them to think the way they want us to think.
7. I wish it was possible to end racisim. I dont think it is. Racisim is just a state of mind. The way to end it is to change peoples thinking process. America is a land of free thinkers so we cannot change the way they think. They have to be inspired and do it on there own. Maybe the media can help that. And by having a change in color in the presidency can help break some barriors. But helping stop Racisim is a long almost impossible process that maybe one day in the future we can help stop. And then america will be a more respectful, kind, caring kind of country!
