After watching several movies this week, I find that race and sex are bigger issues in our culture than they should be. It seems like every big dispute by people of different races gets turned into a racial issue which is not always the case. I found the both the woman from the movies to be very bias to their own situations. They were both concerned about sexism against women. The one woman also focused on racism but at the same time I found her to be unintentionally racist. She complained about stereotyping that the black kid was the thief in the movie but then she said that people who went to Yale were mostly white and took everything for advantage which was a stereotype in itself. I found that everyone stereotypes because we are simply unable to know everyone in the world so we group people together based on similarities. Due to this I'm not sure that racism or sexism will ever come to an end especially with all the advertisements and stereotypes forced on us through different media sources. Lastly I think OJ Simpson was guilty.
