Multiculturalism in Crash Crash is highly ambiguous in the depiction of multiculturalism in American society. Almost all the ethnicities depicted in Crash question the perception others have their particular group‚ but at the same time affirm the different stereotypes surrounding their ethnic group. For example‚ one of the black characters (‘Anthony’) remarks that they should be afraid in a white neighborhood‚ due to their group’s association with crime. Following this intelligent observation‚
