The racism stuff is so old and tired. Can't we just watch a movie for what it is without labeling everyone? Love is love.

FWIW, I’m Asian, and I married an Asian person. I didn’t think it was a big deal that the boys were not Asian. The boys were cute, smart, and kind. What’s not to like?
Not a big deal until the author tries to hype up the movie as a major advancement for Asian Americans.
It would have been nice to have an Asian man as love interest because it hardly ever happens in Hollywood productions.
But I’m sure it’s a fun movie.

-Asian person
My niece who’s half Asian has very almond shaped eyes. Eurasian/Amerasians can look very Asian or not.
Non Asian explaining to an Asian how Amerasians look compared to Asians. Please stop, and please don’t think because you have a half Asian niece that you are now some sort of expert on Asian things.
Half Asian pp here. Of my siblings and I, I look most white and am often mistaken for Latina. Youngest sibling looks 100% Asian and looks a lot like the Asian side of my family. So within a family there can be a range of Asian-ness.
Also wanted to address a previous pp’s implication that I may have some self loathing. I do find some aisian guys attractive but they’re always mixed (like me) so I guess I’m not really counting them because they aren’t 100% Asian. Also, in general, Asian guys I know or have known tend to be short, and I’m pretty tall. I’m just not that into short guys.
Of course, makes sense. FYI - It's hurtful to the Asian American community when an Asian person, or even half-Asian (I would consider you Asian if you wanted to be) announces "I'm not into Asians". It plays into the whites-are-superior narrative. At the very least it's frankly not a very polite thing to announce in public and unfortunately some people say it to engender acceptance among non-Asians.
Pp, can you explain why anime characters have non Asian looking eyes? You're obviously the dcum expert on who looks Asian.

It bother me at first too. But then I look at my blonde, half asian kids and I just give up.
It's not always 50/50 gene expression. SCIENCE!

Loved it! DD and I watched it together. Neither of us are big romantics, but thought it was funny and smart.

It seems typical of this generation who follow beauty vloggers and live on Instagram.
It's fine, she's so gorgeous and cute. I hope we can see her again.
