Anti-Asian racism isnโ€™t un-Americanโ€”itโ€™s quintessentially American. You canโ€™t kill millions of Asians across the Pacific for a whole ass century in the name of America and then out of nowhere say that anti-Asian racism is un-American. Thatโ€™s just lying.

I am not stupid. I understand the film & its takeaways. Panning into the world of science + (geo)politics & its (lack of) ethics was fascinating. It was brilliantly acted. Just couldnโ€™t get over the erasure of the human beings most affected by the main focus of the film.
