In the movie herald and kumar go to white castle they show hatred and prejudice to black people and the asians. In the one sence leading up to were it really turns bad is that the two of them are in the middle of nowhere and are waiting at a light so that they can cross the road and the light does not change for a few and so they decide to jay walk and right when they step onto the road a police car comes out of nowhere and starts to question them and the cop is white. So when he is asking questions he is thinking what kind of person would name thier kid kumar and thinks that he is a indian pr something and makes fun of him and arrest him for resisting arrest and makes up other charges. This relates to Zinn and Takaki because they did not care about anything when they came to America like the native americans they just took them hostage or they killed them. Another part in the sence where he is in jail he meets a black person who was put in jail and while he is in there the cops are so mean and racist to them they came in there and while herald was in there kumar came to get him out and while they were in their the keys were still in the cell and kumar smelled something and went to check it out and then the cops came back and saw the keys in the cell and automatically assumed the black man was trying to escape and said to his other buddies lets get him so they went in their and started to beat him with knight sticks and punches. This relates to Zinn because the beat them and made them do hard labor as punishment for trying to escape and did many other things that were cruel to them when they caught them.
