#anti-asian racism has persisted acceptably in film for way longer than it should
Text
oof, the 1990s Agatha Christie’s Poirot is often very nice but it did NOT handle anything remotely east Asian with anything resembling tact.
#ugh ugh ugh it's played for laughs too#like not all of it's bigotry but it sure is racist#cw: racism#cw: anti-asian racism#now i'm not surprised anymore at the ridiculous market scene in turn left (doctor who / 2008)#anti-asian racism has persisted acceptably in film for way longer than it should#it's not taken as seriously by white audiences compared with anti-black racism#for example my parents are not okay with blackface in film but have no problem watching yellowface movies and see nothing wrong#re the tv show:#ew i'm honestly just like *do not ever mention china ever because you can't do it without being offensive*#and i get it. these are period pieces. but i guess i've grown accustomed to makers at least acknowledging the racism of the source#and making commentary on it or at least setting aside the most egregious parts#but here we are making broken english jokes and the audience is supposed to laugh at them??#they're either lifting racism wholesale or worse adding it in#it's not charming
