I don't think the Asian character was represented in a racist way. He was a horny teenage foreign exchange student. He could have been German, Nigerian, French, Argentinian or whatever. Sure, the grandparents made racist comments and treated him more like a house servant than an exchange student. But it was pretty minor and the norm for that generation back in the 1980s. That was the point.

Exactly. If anything it showed that Dong was just an average teenager and the grandparents who hosted him has issues. He hooks up with a chick, parties, gets drunk, and is hung over the next morning. Pretty typical teenager for the time.

What's the joke about.Race. It is a racial joke then. The character plays on stereotypes. Think about Breakfast at Tiffany's. It is about cultural competence. We should be more aware of prejudice in everyday society.

Are you Asian, or just offended for the Asian community?
Hey everybody, look that white guy is offended, he must be one of the "good ones". He's definitely not racist because he was so offended by that character. -

LOL. not racist. you just dont know what you're talking about
I know your type if it was Asians making jokes about white people you wouldn't have said a word, would you? you would have laughed along.
But as it is white people making fun of an asian you frame it as racism and run with it. don't you? Idiot!
word of advice, get mental help. you need it fast! there is something wrong with you! -

LOL before I even went on this board I KNEW there would be at least one post whining about how the movie was "racist toward Chinese people. All the jokes are clearly light hearted and tongue in cheek to anyone who doesn't have a stick up their ass.
What are words for when no one listens anymore -
