Racism in the Movie, Crash :: Racism Crash Film Movie

All done time, the world has been racist and intolerant of people different from themselves. Countless millions have suffered due to the bigotry of people that couldnt understand stir or differences among one another. There was a time when any soul that wasnt blue eyed and blonde haired in Germany, anyone with darker skin where immediately classed as small and not human. Even now, when you are not aware, racism is still a considerable problem. But sometimes it isnt one person being racist against another, provided rather one person being racist against them self. The movie crash shows good examples of how racism against oneself, caused by maintenance and misunderstanding, is just as malevolent and crime as racism against another person. Fear is what makes people act racist. Farhad is one of many examples in the movie of a person who recognizes his own race and paralyzes himself through his own fear. Farhad believes that since he is Persian he is immediately being persecuted against and cheated. He flips out at the catalyst shop when the owner was insulting him which just furthers his fear of Americans. After the events on 9/11, which are referenced a lot in the movie, Farhad thinks that anyone who is Middle Eastern isnt welcome in America. Even after the gun shop owner was rude his shop was destroyed by racist people who hated him. It is this same fear of being cheated because of his race that makes him very distrustful to people he doesnt know. He calls a lock smith to come fix his door because it wont lock. He immediately thinks that Daniel is trying to cheat him and steal cash from him just because of his past endeavors.
