Dent (ed.) Black Popular Culture, Seattle: Bay Press, pp. Through displaying whiteness as irrational, aggressive and unintelligent, whiteness becomes visible and noticeable instead of being the вЂnormвЂ™, whiteness becomes weird and different (Carby, 1992). What the film successfully does is switches the normative roles of what is to be Asian or вЂracedвЂ™ and what it is to be white. Although within film, stoners could even be classed as neither white nor вЂracedвЂ™ but a different hybrid alien breed that is discriminated against and outcast from society.

Harold and Kumar attempts to вЂњmake white weirdвЂќ. The quest for White Castle could be related to a quest for the American dream, the white American dream stunted by obstacles in their way such as racist police officers who arrest people specifically on the colour of their skin. Harold, a hard working second generation Asian American and Kumar an intelligent Indian man whoвЂ™s tough father is forcing him into medical school. The two main characters themselves are a perfect example. There are many evident stereotypes throughout the film. Throughout the journey they get into a variety of different absurd situations, but a lot of them deal with race and racism. The film itself follows the two main characters as they smoke marijuana and go on a quest to find White Castle to satisfy their hunger. Proving the point that white is no longer a race, it is just human and anything that strays from white is raced and therefore different. For instance, the film вЂњDude WhereвЂ™s My Car?вЂќ is described as a film about вЂњtwo potheadsвЂќВ (IMDB) whereas вЂњHarold and KumarвЂќ a film with a noticeably similar plot line is described Police Sketch of Harold and KumarДЄs a film about an вЂњAsian-American office worker and his Indian stoner friendвЂќ (IMDB). That races are only a race because they stray from the norm which is вЂњwhitenessвЂќ. Dyer argues that racial difference is only highlighted when it is in relation to the white race. Racial imagery is essential to the organisation of the modern world (Dyer, 1996). This is why вЂњstoner filmsвЂќ are a lot more intelligent than they seem, past all the lewd imagery and drug use. But itвЂ™s sometimes difficult to differentiate between what is discriminating and what is making fun of discrimination that exists in the real world. On the surface level, вЂњHarold and KumarвЂќ is a racist and sexist film. Sears and Johnson make the argument that these characters also waste white privilege. The characters all exhibit wastefulness and excessive behaviour in the hunt to find marijuana. The main characters of these films usually follow the same plot line of cause and effect. The вЂњstoner comedyвЂќ although dubbed a genre cloaked in whitenessВ (Sears and Johnson, 2010) is fairly diverse in films such as вЂњHarold and Kumar Go to White CastleвЂќ. Since Cheech and ChongвЂ™s вЂњUp In SmokeвЂќ was released in 1978.
