Seeing Crash got me thinking about the level of tolerance for racism. There are a ton of little remarks and several big remarks in the film about racism and stereotypes, often delivered as humor... and then you ask yourself if it's ok to laugh. Is it racist to acknowledge ethnic stereotypes?

Discuss.
