In the 1993 film Falling Down, Michael Douglas plays a white former defense company employee reacting to the humiliations that he sees imposed on him by a multicultural society. "From the get-go," wrote David Gates in Newsweek, "the film pits Douglas -- the picture of obsolescent rectitude with his white shirt, tie, specs, and astronaut haircut -- against a rainbow coalition of Angelenos. It's a cartoon vision of the beleaguered white male in multicultural America."
