[*]Did anyone catch Eastwood's son in the film? He plays that "wigger". I wonder if Kowalski calling him a pussy has any relation to what Clint actually thinks of Scott? ;D
[*]Which brings me on to my next point, we know Sue doesn't like any of her cousin's gang members because they're "stupid". Well the white kid Trey, he seems just as stupid as the other guys, so why is she with him? Do you think it has anything to do with "Hmong women go to college, Hmong men go to prison" thing? As in, a white guy is more likely to succeed?
[*]Talking of races, do you think the younger characters' attitude towards Kowalski's overt racism is a commentary on the younger generation of today and their more liberal beliefs and attitudes towards racism and life, as opposed to that of the ignorant attitudes of the older generation?
[*]Isn't it ironic that the Hmong gang's attitude towards protecting "one of their own" is apparent as they save their cousin's arse from those other gang members in the car. Yet they go against this very belief system by not only shooting up their own cousin's house (trying to kill or atleast injure anyone within) but by also physically assaulting and raping one of their other cousins?! They seem to value family well-being, but Thau realises their true stance by not wanting to join them.
However, he later gives in and decides he does want to join them only to fail at the task. Why do you think he changed his mind? Did it have more to do with fitting in with the "typical male" of his time/neighbourhood? Or do you think he valued family wishes?
