Plenty of movies for you to enjoy then!


The Asian American community is grossly underrepresented in American media. So I think it’ll relate to way more Americans than you’re suggesting.

I saw an advance screening of the movie that Warner Brothers did at AMC Georgetown recently. The movie was a lot of fun and glorious to watch.

I am a white lady who was conflicted about the book. It was a fun for a rom-com, but I felt the stereotyping was way beyond what I felt comfortable with.

That said, I will see the move as I believe in voting for more diversity in the film industry via the box office.

All white movie casts are OK, though, right? And black and Asian and Hispanic people should be able to relate to those movies and enjoy them, right?

Me!! I'm not Asian, I'm Eastern European, but I loved the books and can't wait for the movie.

I didn't love how the last book ended though, meh!

We're also an AA (African American) family and my DH, 3 college kids and I can"t wait to see this movie. Just go, sit back and enjoy the movie.

Why would they make a movie about just one minority? I’m not going to go see it.

I can’t wait! I thought the books were a fun easy read. I’m psyched for the visuals (gorgeous houses and clothes). Plus Awkwafina and Constance Wu are hilarious.

Really? Are you a troll?

It is called Crazy Rich Asians. It is about an extremely wealthy Asian family set in Hong Kong. What minoritiescwould fit in?

I'm very excited! Rich transcends race. If you don't get a reference, it's more likely that you're poor not because your not Asian
