This wasn't my first time watching it but it was the first time watching it with a sociological mindset.
The one thing we were told to watch for is race and the explicit and Implicit biases involved with it.
The big thing I noticed throughout the movie was all the different implicit biases we go though everyday in our interactions with people. The fact that we formulate these negative ideas about people just based on their looks is natural to us. It's how we react to those thoughts is what shows who we really are. I guess the term sociological mindfulness comes to mind here as the movie showed how people who are not mindful of their implicit biases and either reacted harshly or rashly. If we just take the time to think about our actions and don't act on pure instinct some explicit racism could be avoided
