Asians don't scream or march for their rights like other minorities, are they "fair game" because of that? Is this movie laughing at them, or with them? How do any Asians out there feel about this movie? I'm curious.

This movie was based on the novel “Crazy Rich Asians” written by an Asian author. The cast and crew including the director were Asian. The producers mention in interviews the movie would not have been successful without the tremendous support of the Asian American communities.
Every time I’ve seen Asians interviewed about the movie they were extremely positive. Even if they weren’t bowled over by the movie, they were thrilled it was made.
