Crash

The movie Crash we watched in sociology uniquely incorporated an entertaining way to communicate implicit and explicit racism in the United States. Implicit racism is where racism may be implied, or carried out in an unspoken rule; whereas explicit racism is when individuals are openly acting on their prejudices. I enjoyed the movie Crash because all of the characters introduced in the movie were associated among one another throughout some point in the movie. By  having the characters' paths cross, it was evident how racism fluctuated through implicit and explicitly. It was interesting to see the impact of racism on an individual, and how they reciprocated the racism onto another individual. It made me realize that racism is prevalent in our society because it acts as a cycle; where those who feel culturally defeated must be domineering in order to regain their confidence. Because humans are intrinsically aggressive, racism which acts in a cycle may never fully subside in society.
