[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a female Euasian (i.e. half Asian/Caucasian). I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I already wish that the Americanized female role of Rachel would have been played by an Eurasian, instead of Nick’s role who was played by an Eurasian. [/quote]

But Rachel isn't Eurasian. She was full Chinese.[/quote]

Plus, Rachel's being ABC, but born in China is important to why Nick's mother and Ahma object to her. It becomes crucial to the plot in China Rich Girlfriend , as well.[/quote]

I have watched the movie and I actually don't understand what Nick's mom and Ah Ma had against Rachel. I mean, Nick could have brought home a white girl but he didn't. Rachel is still ethnically Chinese, with a PhD and an economist. It isn't as if she was a busker who couldn't hold her sh*t together. Obvious manifestations of American-ness can be changed, like learning that you don't hug on the first meeting (actually no hugging ever) and not approaching someone so openly (Princess Intan scene).

I’ll explain it to you. Singaporean Chinese people view people from China as more low class and vulgar. They also resent them for recent immigration to Singapore as the government  tries to bolster the flagging Chinese population. So Chinese from China are resented, discriminates and considered more low class.[/quote]

No, the mom considered Rachel to be American, not Chinese you doofus. [/quote]
