Cannot wait! About to finish the 3rd book right now.

I am most excited to see the houses and all the beautiful places they go.

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

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 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.

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

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!

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?

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.

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.
