You may be wondering how The Pursuit of Happyness relates to these practices. On a macro scale, prejudice is a group’s historical beliefs toward another group that makes them inferior based on bias and stereotyping. In this sense, racism focuses on the micro scale of individual’s and group’s actions. By racism I mean the way in which one group suppresses another group through daily action, or inaction in some cases, as a means of maintaining the system of hegemony. These three quotes from the movie, The Pursuit of Happyness reinforce the hegemonic practices of racism and prejudice. “Would you move my car? It would really help me out.” “I’m pretty sure I can do it.” “No you can’t.”
