Well, I guess that's one take on it. But there was more to the movie than just . . . RACISM. And it wasn't taking a look at how different ethnic groups are racist towards other ethnic groups, it was more an analysis of different ethnic groups' responses to the atmosphere of cultural homogenization in LA and although most of the time it comes of as racism, the movie really actually focuses more on the struggle that individuals within ethnic groups go through in a city as diverse as LA. What I got from the movie was: Bringing multiple ethnic groups within such proximity of one another and forcing their encounter on a daily basis serves not to "multiculturalize" Americans, but tends to draw them away from one another - it's not people that are the problem (people are inherently good), but society. And also . . . man was Ryan Phillippe hot in that movie.

Yeah, well, we apparently have a different outlook on mankind. On the one hand, yes, they're stupid (especially women . . .especially women), but on the other hand, most people are generally good. But regardless, let's call it a difference of opinions and move on . . . move along . . . these aren't the droids you're looking for . . .

Most people are generally good. Wow. You lose.

And what's with your disrespect towards women anyways? Even if you're joking, that sort of shit just pisses me off, especially when you're commenting on an incredibly real and prominent sociological topic of "today's society".
