An Asian actor would never be given to be the love interest of the White woman.

Asian guy here. Couldn't enjoy this movie due to the blatant propaganda they are pushing. It's always has to be the black guy who is desirable to white women. Never an Asian man. Never. The villains are invariably always white men; the underdog, noble, brave, strong, intelligent, desirable to white women non-white guy is invariably the black guy. So he is the one paired up with the white woman.

They've been pushing this agenda for decades. We've had enough of this crap.

With the rise of China, and with that, the Asian market. I hope Netflix realises we don't want to see this crap. We want to see Asian men represented in a better light. Why can't the Asian guy be the one who is heroic and desirable to white women?

I found the portrayal of the Oriental guy here to be fairly accurate.

That's not the woke stereotype - they always use the asian guy as the non-threatening bright gay dude. With China becoming a big deal they'll probably stop making them (obviously) gay, but don't expect them to become love interests. They want to push the same agenda even in China if they can, asian guys will probably start getting bigger roles, but they will likely always be non-threatening to women, the safe platonic target.
