The movie Crash is chock full of sociological concepts‚ examining issues of race‚ social class‚ and gender‚ as well as many others.

During the movie Crash‚ I was bewildered by the racism in the movie. I kept thinking about all the offensive language and racial slurs the characters were using to offend the other characters.

Almost every one of the characters in Crash plays a role of prejudice‚ ignorance or racial profiling. I can make this judgment based on various scenes from the movie. One character I believe fills an important role in this movie is Ryan Philippe’s as the racist cop’s partner. I think he is very naïve and has the most to learn about himself. I believe this because although he complains about his partner‚ he doesn’t have to courage to even write a report about his actions. I think the author choose
