  19. Rick Cabot (Brendan Fraser) is the whitedistrict attorney of Los Angeles. Jean Cabot (Sandra Bullock) is Rick's white wife, whose racial prejudices escalate after the carjacking. Anthony (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) is an African-American inner-city car thief. He believes that society is unfairly biased against blacks, and at one point in the film he justifies his actions by saying he would never hurt another black person. Peter Waters (Larenz Tate) is Anthony's friend and partner in crime. Like Anthony, he is black, but he humorously scoffs at Anthony's paranoia over racism. Graham Waters (Don Cheadle) is a detective in the Los Angeles Police Department. He is disconnected from his poor family. Officer John Ryan (Matt Dillon) is a white police officer who molests Christine, a black woman, during a traffic stop. Officer Tom Hansen (Ryan Phillippe) is disgusted by his partner's racism and the city's inaction. Hansen overreacts, draws his gun, and shoots Peter. Cameron Thayer (Terrence Howard) is a black television director who becomes distraught after witnessing Officer Ryan molest his wife and realizing that the very show he produces is propagating racist stereotypes about black people. Christine Thayer (Thandie Newton) is Cameron's wife. Daniel (Michael Peña) is a Mexican-American locksmith who faces discrimination from Jean and others because he looks like a "gangbanger" (has tattoos, shaved head, baggy jeans) to them, when he is actually a devoted family man. Farhad (Shaun Toub) is a Persian store owner who is afraid for his safety. He is depicted as a man frustrated by the racial harassment he experiences in the United States, as well as deterred by difficulties with speaking English (despite being an Americancitizen). Dorri (BaharSoomekh) is Farhad's daughter, and is more acclimated than her father to American culture.

  35. Name: Jordyn Age: 15.5, grade 10, sophomore Physical description: shoulder-length, sandy blonde hair, green eyes, 5’8”, size 4, thin Family: Mom had Jordyn when she was only 16. Biological mom and dad married when Jordyn was 8. Her baby brother was born when Jordyn was 10. In the last few weeks, her parents have decided to separate because of her dad’s extra-marital relationship. She’s often responsible for babysitting her autistic little brother because her parents work a lot. She adores him and they have a sweet relationship. Her family is not wealthy, but Jordyn’s grandparents often buy her more expensive items (shoes, phone, etc) so some people think she’s a spoiled rich girl. Friends: She’s had the same group of friends since she was in elementary school. But since starting high school, some of them have changed: partying, hooking up with random boys, compromising their values to be “popular.” They see Jordyn as a prude because she doesn’t want to party or smoke. She’s not particularly religious, but she doesn’t want to let her family down. She sometimes gets herself into trouble because she’s nice to boys who mistake her kindness for interest. One asked her out this summer, and when she declined, he spread rumors that she was a slut. School: She gets decent grades and works hard at learning: something else her friends don’t seem to care about. She likes to read. Her parents want her to do running start to help pay for college, but she wants a typical high school experience. She is in drama club, but one of the upperclassmen acts like a Mean Girl and it makes Jordyn sick, but she’s kinda afraid to speak out against her, for fear that the Mean Girl will turn on her. Jordyn wants to be a kindergarten teacher or a veterinarian.
