3.5 I don't hate it. The cinematography was exquisite with Japan's vibrant images, and the script had a historical and political context. International audiences were likely to empathize with the main characters' struggles of having interracial romance between a Japanese woman and a White American man. However, the small pieces of racial stereotypes were in every spot. Such as Wonton Font for the credits (they were SO BAD they burn me in the eyes). Side roles frequently showed their White Supremacy. Japanese women, along with other Asian women, are not a "type." They are who they are; each individual has an independent mind.
