Crash

This week in Sociology we watched a movie that helped us understand explicit and implicit racism. In general race doesn't exists, but stereotypes do. Some main characters are explicitly racist, which doesn't help them get anywhere. Also there are characters that try and be fare and not judge a persons race. But its hard to stop all implicit racist thoughts. For example the off duty police officer who shot the black man because he thought he was pulling a gun out of his pocket. So by the end of the movie, a lot of events happen, and some of the characters are left changed, but some seem to continue on their vicious cycle of racism.
