Things I learned from Crash
- Sexual harassment can be excused if you save a woman from a car accident.
- If you're black, just cave into the stereotype and start robbing people. Might as well.
- It's normal and excusable behavior to scream a racial tirade about the Mexican guy working 10 feet away from you. If your wife does this, you should be totally fine with it.
- Don't bother trying to be a decent, non-racist person. You'll accidentally do something racist at some point anyway, so just start being intentionally racist now!
- If someone is racist, just forgive them because they might have a family, or sometimes they do good things. Whodathunk that the average person might have a family?
- Having a dementia-stricken mother is a good excuse to cheat on your wife.
- We should feel bad for a shop owner who's done nothing but berate innocent people and treat his family poorly the entire film.
- You should forgive a racist cop if his boss and new coworker are both people of color. That clearly means it's impossible for him to actually be racist! If someone accuses you of racism, just get a job with a POC coworker; that'll clear you of all racism accusations.
- You'd rather horrifically die by explosion than have a pervy policeman save your life and deal with that later.
- Tatted-up, tough-looking Mexican guys can actually be good, honest, hard-working people with families! Whodathunk!?
- A Buddhist will unironically say the phrase "for Christ's sake".
- Don't look at someone in the street, they'll attack you. But don't ignore them, they'll think you're threatened and attack you.
- If you legally shoot someone in self-defense, stage it as a murder and set your car on fire instead of simply explaining yourself.
