Blatant racism


The movie wasn't bad, but anyone else disgusted with the blatant racism towards Asians in this film? I mean Hollywood has always been pretty racist towards Asians, but this wasn't even remotely subtle and it's 2012 ffs. Ming was stereotypical to the max and looked semi-retarded.

It always makes me wonder about racism in movies, I know people like him, same accent and everything. What I mean is, these people exist, but is putting him in the movie racist?
It's like FES from that's 70's Show, he could be said to be a racist character, but there are people that sound and act like him, is it racist to have them?

I'm asking, I'm not saying yes or no, just wondering.

So I watched this movie and wasn't disgusted because it was rated R.
Which prepared me for the evils of sex, political humour and rock and roll.

And since I'm not such a sensitive person, I can find many more movies enjoyable to watch.

Think how you'd like to, but I like to think it makes things easier for me.

I thought this was a trainwreck of a movie;overlong, unfunny and unromantic. But racist? Just ridiculous! In a way overstocked supporting cast, there were characters clearly from a variety of different cultural heritages and religions. Just a silly assertion from some poor attention-seeker!🐭

Asians are the most racist people in the world!
