Very much so. Movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero and Slumdog Millionaire were all great movies and were hugely successful in America.

I feel like those movies all played on Western perceptions/stereotypes of Asians though (kung fu, poor) and essentially turned what people expected into a movie. Crazy Rich Asians is playing on a 'new' stereotype of 'new money' but if you think about all the possible movie themes/plots/etc out there eg romantic comedies, space exploration, etc..., how many of those which are not based on a racial/cultural stereotype would actually have such diverse casting?

Crouching tiger hidden Dragon was based on a series of novels written by a Chinese author nearly a century before. It isn't dealing with Chinese "stereotypes". It's literally dealing with authentic Chinese culture. It was written, directed, and starred Chinese people, was filmed in China, and had a Chinese crew. So the casting and hiring was definitely not "diverse" lol, you seem to think that word means "not solely white people.".

Then you go on to argue that any movie about rich Asians is racist, and any movie about poor Asians is racist.... Lol forget the fact that they were accurate representations of Indian and Chinese culture, you will literally say any movie is racist because you're a virtue signaling PC vulture who is incapable of having an honest discussion because you always have an agenda. It's really embarrassing and something you should try to grow out of.
