In the film, most prejudice seems to be externally imposed rather than being perpetuated by the persons themselves. One exception to this might be the Iranian family, where Farhad and his daughter apparently deliberately speak their native language in the gun shop despite the irritation of the shop owner. When Daniel installs the lock, Farhad does not understand him sufficiently to have his door fixed, with disastrous consequences. One might wonder why his daughter or some other mediator was not there to help them communicate more clearly.
Farhad, also seems to be subject to a very specific cultural pride, which precludes him from either seeking help to understand Daniel, or at least learning English properly. The dismay of the family at the perpetrators of the vandalism not realizing that they were Iranian is also a significant factor in this. They almost seem to be more upset because of this than as a result of the vandalism itself.
As in Ms. Longoria's case, this is a type of self-destructive cultural pride, also with potentially disastrous consequences. The disaster is only averted by the wisdom of Dorri, who loaded her father's gun with blanks. Had she not done this, a little girl would have died. Eva Longoria appears proud of her sexuality, and does not appear much bothered that this pride perpetuates her image as a stereotype. In fact, she perpetuates it.
In the same way Farhad's...
Instead, they maintain a sense of cultural pride and isolation, which results in their personal and economic loss,
In conclusion, the film Crash provides a relatively honest and definitely shocking look at race relations. The most interesting part of the film is the fact that no single person is only the perpetrator or only the victim of prejudice and racism. Almost all the major characters are both. This lends a strong sense of realism to the film. The fact that only one person appears to learn and grow from her experience is a further strong element of reality in the film.
As for the chapters discussed, the application of these is that all the characters face a number of challenges in the film. These can be deconstructed to have certain meanings in terms of race, racism, and prejudice. The audience is then able to learn from these experiences not so much as the actions of hard-core and evil racists, but as the actions of people that are identified as human and flawed, like every member of the audience. This is the strongest appeal of the film.
