The movie "Crash" was a great example of how people of different cultures can be prejudice and stereotypical toward one another. It showed how ideas and feelings are adopted and can be carried down from generation to generation.

In the absence of detail, stereotyping in many situations allow us to arrive at a general conclusion of these groups.
When Tom was accused of rape, this was the most racist point in the book to me. The people of Maycomb automatically labeled him as guilty. If I were in his position I would have wanted to fight back. Atticus Finch, a local lawyer and one of the main characters, is appointed as Tom’s lawyer. He is almost completely shunned from the town because he is trying to help a black man accused of rape.
Forms of double jeopardy are aimed at African Americans. One great example is when African American felons who have served time, completed probation and parole sentences, and paid full restitution are banned from voting for a lifetime. This practice punishes the offender twice, once by serving a sentence of various sorts and then by losing voting privileges. African American women also face a type of double jeopardy in corporate America because they are a double minority. After shattering corporate American’s glass ceilings barring women from advancing, African American women are subjected to yet another glass ceiling because of race.
