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?


Singapore - though there are some scenes in HK


Yeah, the trilogy takes place all over the world NYC, Hong Kong, Paris, London, Beijing, Switzerland etc. Those families are true jetsetters!
