Watch it. They did some very un PC things in that movie.

One particular scene that comes to mind is when the State Attorney General (who had recently been carjacked by two blacks, with much corresponding publicity) offered an important job to a black man to help boots his diversity quotient. The black guy could see the motivation behind the job offer, and was obviously offended. A very clear portrayal of the subtle racisms that is inherent in all "diversity" promotions and hirings.

Not your typical Hollywood fare, IMHO.

Right on.

Crash was actually one of the most daring films I've seen. It took on racism in all it's forms, INCLUDING the sort of liberal 'you need your big daddy to take care of you' racism, black on white racism, minority on minority racism etc.

What's more, it did so, for the most part, in a very realistic, very honest way. It didn't draw any easy answers or damn anybody. There was no government program to fix it. It wasn't the fault of some corporation. It was problems with individuals. Black individuals, white individuals, hispanic individuals, etc. A human problem that will always exist, and can best be confronted by those who create it, i.e. yourself, and your friends and family.
