Ethnic Groups

Ethnic groups are gaining more representation in media. Minorities, especially African Americans, have received more roles in film in the past years.

So far, all I can think of is good car scene that ends up with the main character getting dropped off.  What plot can be built from that?  In most coming of age movies I've seen, scenes that take place in a car usually feature a fight between two characters while the main character looking out the window. Or, the main character and the driver are having a deep, emotional talk while, again, the main character is looking out the window.  My favorite car scene is from "Clueless," because it's funny and the high energy is something I want to emulate. I've re-watched "Clueless" over the weekend, and even though it's more comedy than I want for my film, I did take ...
