CRASH – It's true! In Los Angeles we always mention each other's
race when we talk to each other. For example, every conversation with
[my girlfriend] starts like this, "You are really efficient at making good food
you Jesus-denying, Commie." (She's German/Italian/Jewish/Russian.)
She replies, "Thank you, you efficient lout." (I'm German/Scottish.)
I'm amazed at how accurate this film is. It's true that every woman
who has been felt up by a cop is then saved by the same cop from a
fiery inferno days later. It's true that we regularly load guns with
blanks on the off chance that a crazy Persian decides to shoot a
Hispanic locksmith whose daughter gets in the way. It's true that the
other police officer, the one who didn't feel up the woman, would then
bump into the woman's husband after a brief police chase. It's all
true. It's not shitty screenwriting at all. I thank the filmmakers
for being so brave.

Mom's note: I totally love his last line -- I think heard something like that at least twice during the Golden Globes....just sayin'.
