“My [American-born Chinese] friends loved the film, but my Chinese friends really hated it.”
So the movie is made to appeal to asian americans rather than asians?

many of whom have said it perpetuates racist stereotypes and presents a single version of Asia that is “palatable” for Hollywood audiences.
I wonder how many of said people criticizing the movie are asian or asian-american? If the previous author felt as if it deflected stereotypes, why do these critics say otherwise?

Watching “Crazy Rich Asians” on opening night was an OVERWHELMING experience for me, to say the least. I have never felt so drawn into characters because before this, I had never watched an American movie where the lead characters looked like me and weren’t built off of some stereotype.
This part makes me feel as though I should go see the movie. Movies that don't follow stereotypes aren't easy to come by, or good ones at that.

Gabriella in “High School Musical” is teased for being a nerd, Tracy in “Hairspray” is not the right size and too progressive for her peers, Andie in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” is on an odd mission and goofy in the best of ways. In my teen years, I felt like that girl who was too nerdy and odd and seriously struggled with my own body image.
I feel like her point is that the representations of those that are deemed "strange" and "different" are crucial not only to building a good fanbase (as most of these movies are popular) but also good for the viewer's mind. I also have to say I agree with her, there are a lot of characters from movies that I can relate to and that make me feel happy.

This means that when an employer hires a student fresh out of college and asks her to write a report for the CEO, he might expect that she knows what a report is in general, but he needs to remember that she’s never seen a report at this company
This reminds me a lot about high school teachers and college professors. Most of my teachers had VERY different expectations when it came to writing. Molding yourself to fit those expectations can be very frustrating especially when the teachers don't explain what they want or mean.

YOU CAN LEARN TO WRITE IN GENERAL
Already on the first page I find myself amused due to the fact that I already know she doesn't believe "writing in general" exists. It somewhat makes me wonder why she chose the phrase she did for the chapter's name.
