I feel we cannot trust Koreans or Chinese or Asians


This movie makes me feel this way. Look at their stony cruel faces. When was the last time these people did anything really humane or heartfelt or kind? Ugh.

They really do not belong in the West. This movie proves it right?

A Chinese feels the same way about Americans like you.

Also, if you use a movie to prove what you think of reality, then I'm seriously concerned about your intellectual level.

Don't use computers or the internet. The machines are taking over. The Terminator movie proves it, right?

You jest but machines really ARE taking over -- at least they're taking over jobs in the USA.

Who doesn't long for the 'old times' when, instead of 'please choose from the following selections' recordings we actually were able to speak with human telephone operators/customer service reps?

Sometimes it may feel more expedient but, for eg., Walmart and other stores now have 'self check out' option for checking our own purchases using their machines instead of living, human being Checkers.

My husband has a client who works for Stater Bros as a manager. Plan is to have groceries delivered after we place our order via computer and the order will be filled via machines/robot (truly.)

So, it may be funny to kid around but it really is something humans will or already seeing.

(It's not unheard of that actors are concerned that they will not be needed as CGI gets better and better.)

Machines really do cost less than human employees but what is the REAL cost to us all?

(The soap box is now free.)

"They really do not belong in the West"

No more so than blacks, latinos and whites. All foreigners to the land of America.

When I watched this movie, the first thing I thought was, "so ALL asians are terrorists or traitors, whilst all other races are in it for Team America? Get lost film producer."

This has been quite common now in all Hollywood movies - asians are seen as the perpetual foreigner, despite having a huge history and heritage in the USA. As shown in the movie, there are many ethnic Asians serving the Government, Armed and Special forces, all to protect the USA. Yet the media casually ignore all this, but happily pick upon when asians (usually non American) do bad.


Which brings us to people like the OP. My second thought was, "no doubt there are going to be suckers who will use this as justification to hate on asians." The fact that a) you used a work of fiction and b) based your prejudices on looks ("cold stony faces") says it all. Did you go to school? Do you have a shred of compassion or empathy? Because anyone who does will look beyond stereotypes.
