Katuran - Harold and Kumar

I find that Harold and Kumar deals with a lot of underlying issues in the society of America. Most of their issues are brought about through stereotypes to make it funny and appealing to a younger crowd. One issue is terrorism and racial profiling. Kumar was searched in the airport, and then once he got past security an old lady imagined him as a terrorist. They made it funny by having all hell breaks loose in the movie, but racial profiling is a huge issue that government officials are dealing with right now. Another form of racial profiling was when there was Harold and Kumar get into a car crash. After crashing the proceed to run away because a big black man comes but they are afraid just because of his race. Another stereotype being presented in a funny matter is the stereotype of prison guards. No one knows how they treat their prisoners at guantamo bay, but in this film they all want “cock meat sandwiches”. Obviously the bong hitters of society are going to find that funny, yet it is an issue that the world is dealing with. Although this movie is funny and is appealing to those who do relate to marijuana, it does deal with important issues that are going through the system today.
