RACISM AND STEREOTYPES

-Both the Iranian man and white woman assume a Mexican-American locksmith is a gang member
-A black cop has an affair with his Latina partner but he never gets where she is from correct
-A white cop thinks a light skinned black woman is white so he sexually assaults her
-When a white producer tells a black TV director that a black character doesn't sound black enough

There are many other scenes and situations where there is racism and stereotypes, it is an ongoing theme throughout the film.
