After watching the movie, user @muqingmzhang started a thread that described how the 29-year-old breakout star built her entire career off of Blackness.

After watching Crazy Rich Asians, one of the most disturbing parts is Awkwafinas mistral-esque performance as the sassy Black sidekick caricature in full on AAVE. She isnt even acting. Shes just performing her real-life Blackface that she built her whole career off of.

A pretty good Twitter thread on it. Its particularly frustrating, given the notoriously hostile and downright racist attitudes a good deal of Asians have toward the black community

Sounds like you don't know what you want. You're upset that your culture is embraced, and upset that it isn't.

he is referring to people going to see murals and other artwork in New York iirc, which was not "urban tours" for white people

Of all the aspects of Blackness you can choose to defend, of all the weird hills you can choose to die on, you wanna make a race issue out of personality traits that make anyone look like an annoying idiot regardless of their skin color?

I've known plenty of "ghetto" asian people who genuinely act like this. It's not unique to black people. Are you mad that and asian person is using a "black stereotype" or are you just mad that a "black steretype" is being portrayed?

I'm upset that some in a group of people who are second maybe only to whites in their historically negative views of the black community will embrace aspects of black culture when they're looking to be cool or make a dollar.

But I thought that according to TC it was impossible to be racist unless youre part of a race in a position of power. Thus it would be impossible for an Asian in America to be racist according to his logic

To deny she performing bastardized and downright offensive versions of traits shared by many.black people is to deny reality. Do you think Jamie Kennedy did the same thing in malibu's most wanted

So are you saying there's a way black people act or something? That type of generalization is racist, dude. You are literally being racist by trying to represent a majority of an entire race as sharing those traits or behaviors.

Ehhh most of the Asian influence was RZA. They all liked Asian culture but RZA really went all in with it. Plus Wu-Tang was drafted by the Chinese delgation years ago.
