Crazy Rich Asians.

The main character, although Asian, is still primarily American and is basically discovering her own ancestry and culture by going to Asian to meet her fiancé’s family. It’s a far more interesting premise than some white dude being shocked by Asian culture as someone so out of place. Rather its about someone who should fit in, but doesn’t, and being surrounded by people who look like her and that she can to some degree relate to, but who don’t accept her just the same. It’s incredibly well done.

I mean the movie was made for white people

Western educated good asian woman goes to asia to teach those backward soulless savages who only care about money how to be human

Exactly how hollywood sees "asians" (takes place in singapore, everybody is east asian, except the male lead of course, can't have him be fully asian, full straight asian men aren't allowed to exist in hollywood)

Wow. The director and 2 of the scripters are Asian, as are ~95% of the cast. That alone makes it non-hollywood.
