I have to agree, and I think that if it was done on purpose, it really proves a point. If it wasn't done on purpose then yes, it falls into the same traps as all other Hollywood productions. The greatness of this movie is how it is done in a way where the satire isn't obvious, where the actors seemingly take themselves completely seriously. It's not like a Leslie Nelson "Airplane" or Monty Python type take on it, and I think therein lies the genius, that is if you didn't understand it's satire and mocking of the current social condition, it'd piss you off instead of being funny. And as much as I find white-adjacency repugnant, I can't help but recognize that it does exist and it is very real amongst certain sets of Asian classes. Did this movie fully deliver a satire on all of America's issues? No. Could there be more nuance? Yes. Overall, I thought it was pretty good though and it hit a lot of targets about elitism and the vapidness of our society. I don't think most of America has a grasp on Asian diaspora and economic inequalities yet and that does need more visibility not only in Hollywood, but in general, so the author of this piece absolutely has a point too.
