in the same vein as the previously reblogged post, i saw this post this morning by a white lesbian complaining about how, like, people that stan eeao focus on ke huy quan's character too much and his relationship with his wife, when the main focus of the movie is supposed to be the mother-daughter relationship and a young woman coming to accept her sexuality. and it's like, okay...you know two things can be true at once and can exist simultaneously. like thats the point of the movie; its about everything. and personally speaking, the many praises and meta ive seen on here (by at least mutuals and people i follow) the conversation about these things has never felt unbalanced.

#like i think the overall theme of the movie was supposed to be love. in all aspects of the family #the love between spouses. the love between parent and child #the love for one self #i don't think any of these have been forgotten #also i need white gays to quit with the fucking scoffing at black and brown m/f couples #and looking at them through the same lens as the bland run of the mill cis het white couples you see in mainstream media #like regardless if you're gay and tired of seeing men and women together i don't think that's fair to people of color #who almost never see themselves portrayed in a fully human way #also keep in mind that just because you can't relate to something in a piece of media...doesn't automatically mean it's bad or meaningless #p.p.s. y'all don't show up for gay media with poc either so come off it
