Choose a film whose story line deals with an ethnic group other than your own. You might choose a film like Crash that focuses on the interactions among characters from several different ethnicities or a film like Madea that focuses on a single ethnic group. Write an essay in which you examine the ways in which ethnicity is presented in the film. Plot summaries have to be limited to only about a page. The rest of the paper should comprise of an analysis of the themes presented in the movie and the larger implications these have for diversity in the US. [Adapted from Mirror on America]
