CRASH

This movie we watched in class really opened my eyes. The way it depicted racism was so powerful. I never really see the terrible and hateful race issues that go on and this movie truly made a difference. Racism is a tough problem with a solution that isn't simple. People grow up with racism basically installed into them. I don't think that people can learn to be racist it is just ideas that they are told and believed in. I think that to get racism away we must stop mentioning it in front of children. Like what Sal does with his daughters is great. He doesn't make color seem important at all. This, I think, is what is needed to be done. Gradually it will go away, I hope!! If these stereotypes don't get introduced to these younger kids, they wont have the poor mindset about people who look different than them.
