《猪头逛大街》已经完全可以算是美国少数族裔流行文化里的经典电影了，美国社会里的少数族裔（非裔、亚裔等）的共同话题永远是反抗白人歧视，亚裔群体里的年轻一代主题里还要加上对亚裔家庭/父母的反抗。这片子通篇都在展示白人社会对少数族裔的歧视和强权，但更重要的一层隐喻（其实已经明显到不能叫“隐”了）是：哪怕在充斥着歧视和压迫的白人社会里，少数族裔们依然在极力追求这个糟糕透顶的主流社会的认可，两个亚裔主人公折腾了一晚想要去的white castle，就是white approval。虽然用快餐品牌来指代白人社会的认可表明他们也很清楚这个认可的廉价，但他们就是铁了心要去white castle。吃到了white castle也就是得到了white approval之后，两个男主角人生态度发生了明显的转变，Harold一生唯唯诺诺、受尽欺凌也敢怒不敢言，在white approva之后敢骂白人同事了、敢向白人女生表白了；原本一直秉持操翻全世界态度的Kumar也愿意接受爹的安排去做天才医生了。一边嘲讽白人社会一边向往白人社会，这算是无奈的犬儒主义还是对自己世俗功利心的坦白？我也不知道……

重看这片，除了依然笑得要死，还有第一次看没有特别留意到的一段对话让我不爽。Harold被白人警察霸凌关进看守所，在同一间牢房里遇到一个正在看书的黑人，他一出场就是一个特写镜头拍出了他在看的书，是Bob Blaisdell的《Essays On Civil Disobedience》（论非暴力反抗）。

Harold问他：So what are you in here for？

-For being black.

-Seriously?

-I am serious. You wanna know what happened? I was walking out of a Barnes'& Noble and a cop stops me.Evidently a black guy robbed a store in Newark. I told him "I haven't even been to Newark in months." So he starts beating me with his gun telling me to stop resisting arrest.

-Holy shit! What d'you do?

-I kept saying i understand i'm under arrest,now please stop beating me.

-I don't understand.How you can be so calm about all this?

-Look at me. I'm fat, black,can't dance. And i have two gay fathers. People have been messing with me my whole life. I learned a long time ago that there's no sense getting all riled up every time a bunch of idiots give you a hard time. In the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should. Plus i have a really large penis. That keeps me happy.

一个因为外形、种族肤色、个人特质（不会跳舞的书呆子）、家庭和性向（性少数群体家庭）等种种能想得到的所有原因（叠buff叠满了）在社会上备受歧视和欺凌的男人能够平和地面对生活，原因在于最后一句话:他依然可以依靠所谓的manhood在女人身上找到平衡，因为他心里清楚得很，哪怕他又肥又呆又没能力，在这个世界上，他还是比和他同族裔的女人地位高。种族不公、社会阶级的不公已经是hot topic，但性别不公依然untouchable. Well, fuck y'all!
