The polarization of "Crash"

Of course Hawaiian discrimination. Most people couldn't tell a Hawaiian from a Samoan from a Tongan (and most could tell general Polynesian traits from general Asian traits).

Many haoles suffer under the same misconceptions of Hawaiian laziness as exist for Mexicans and other tropical populations.

As for China Man being the worst thing you can call a Korean, I don't doubt they'd find it insulting, but in my experience calling them Japanese is worse (and conversely, calling a Japanese person anything other than Japanese will be considered quite insulting).

I haven't seen Crash and probably won't for a couple years (it's in my 400-movie-long Netflix queue) since I have no particular compulsion to move it up in the queue. From what I've read and what little I've seen it just doesn't interest me.
