Borat
This movie is about a man from Khazikstan who comes here to learn more about American culture. It's is acted and played as a documentary, and since the people around Boart don't know he's acting they behave as they are. This is a very popular movie for people our age and like hostel, did very well in theaters. There's a scene where Borat is picked up by students and drinks with them. They begin talking and go on to speak how minorities get an unfair advantage in this country. There's also another scene where Borat sings the national anthem at rodeo with clearly racist and prejudice people. The leader of the rodeo tells Borat about the problems gay in this country. This movie though extremely funny, did a great job of showing the problem of prejudice in this country. Though we've made significant progress in the acceptance of diversity, we're still far from where we should be. There is still so much unnecessary hatred in this country. You see in the papers with cases of hate crimes, racial profiling, ethnicity based attacks. And those are the issues that are published. Much of it isn't seen because people aren't open about how they feel or think. Instead, they hold it in, and pass their hatred through teaching it to their children. This ignorance will keep the prejudices passing through generations.
