Caucasian Female who was married to an Asian male for 10 years - yes some white people suck THAT bad, and worse.


Asians are racist against asians from various "other" backgrounds and also other minorities. SOME people in general really suck that badly (of all races) but most are good.

Not unrealistic for a hoity hoity place.


Yes it is. It’s not like they were in overalls chewing on straw. On what planet would there be a stereotype that Asians couldn’t possibly be rich?


You need to get out more. There are many places like that even now. And there were more in 1995.

Asian from a "poor" rich Asian family (not on their scale, but still rich).


I get out plenty. This scene was completely unrealistic. It was just another attempt to make a dig at evil whitey.

I actually enjoyed the movie outside of that scene.


Europe is really racist and classist. Far more than in the US.

We had our house egged with "chink" written on it in the late 80s.

My dad was white and my mom Japanese.

Do you mean it's not relateable to people who aren't Asian? Because I disagree with this. I'm white and don't need my race to match someone else's in order to relate to them.


Agreed. Those of us who are of African American, Asian American, Latino American and Native American heritages have been doing this out entire lives. Do you mean to say that we're all capable of relating to Hollywood movies that are 98% Caucasian American, but white Americans who are only 62% of the US population cannot relate to a movie without Caucasians?


For the ones raised since birth to believe everything is about them and for them, yes.

Apparently the sequel movie, if greenlit, would focus on her.


I loved her.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/19/chinese-community-reports-highest-proportion-of-racial-harassment-in-britain

Even as recently as last November, Chinese people in the UK reported higher levels of racial harassment than any other group. So yeah, the book and movie were spot-on IMO.
