A story about this — 2 years ago

I watched this a few weeks ago to get some race and ethnicity clips for my sociology project. Of course I found many clips that worked demonstrating racism, prejudice, discrimination, stereotypes, minority and dominant groups etc etc. Watching the movie as an actual film though I didn’t think it was that great. I could tell that it was trying to say a lot and have a big impact, but I felt like all the scenes were way too scripted. The acting seemed mechanical and the scenes lacked much feeling. I rated it worth consuming because it has a good message to it, but many people are aware and see these things in everyday life if you mix with other races and ethnicities frequently. Racism is not always so overt and dramatic as this movie makes it out to be. I feel like many people watching the movie may see it and think “oh it’s not that bad anymore”...but racism is still bad, it’s just not as overt as “old-fashion racism”. People are still racist and prejudice, and they still discriminate, they just do it more quietly now. It does not mean that it affects people any less, just that it is less socially accepted.
