Racism subtle? Not in Town of Merton
Jessica McBride gives the movie, "Crash," a bad review:
... I wasn't impressed. First of all, I don't believe that people usually talk as bluntly as that. The dialogue didn't ring very true. Most racism in society, like sexism, is probably far subtler. The movie would have been more powerful if it had captured that... Overall, I'd describe this movie as being a trip into Michael McGee Jr.'s mind. Or maybe Eugene Kane's. It presented the world as filled with people who are always thinking about race and who see everything - and I mean, everything - through a racial prism. Although racism exists in the world, I don't think most people are as obsessed with race as this movie presented. I found it tiresome. This is sort of a liberal's idea of how a lot of people think, I guess. Disappointing movie.She lives in Merton, in Waukesha County, so you would think she might have heard about this case, which happened in the Town of Merton. Nothing subtle about this racism. McBride's husband, Paul Bucher, filed hate crime charges.

What would it take to pop that bubble she lives in?
Apparently she gets left out of a lot of conversations at UWM.
She doesn't live in a bubble. The bubble resides inside her head.
