    Crash also taught us that if a racist cop SAs a black woman, it all balances out if he saves her life later

      We were shown that movie, with that scene in full, in high school and frankly I memory holed that so hard I had to double check to make sure it was the right scene I was thinking about. I don't even remember the tertiary reason we started watching it back then and I don't remember any of the plot, but that scene has stood out to me for well over a decade.

          Never watched Crash, more amazed that a film decided that was a good plot point and wasn't shamed for it.

            Not just not shamed, it won the Oscar for Best Picture lmao

            Crash as a whole was a libshit "we're all humans man, we're more similar than we are different, and that means I can be racist" kind of thing, it's really really bad in a way that's honestly pretty illuminating when you consider how liberal hollywood LOVED it

              Jesus I remember the phase of liberalism in hollywood in which it started with the "everyone's a little bit racist and that's okay" and then also went into the "better to not see someone by their color" colorblindness propaganda shit.
