The opening scene is of three white hotel employees acting like sneering racists, and I shut it off. I'm done with all the woke nonsense
Gotta pick something else. Maybe Maverick

Just tried to watch Crazy Rich Asians for the first time a moment ago, however...

I love that you were like "White women, ewww. Where my Korean barely legals?"
Keep watching it. Awkwafina kind of steals the show. I don't anticipate it making it into your top 100 movies but its generally entertaining. Goes more into class dynamics than anything.

Barely legals? You serious Clark?
Koreans are by far the hottest Asian women and it’s not even close.

They too old?
I recommend watching “alpha”… you will love it in your drug induced happiness period of recovery…
I’ve banged my share of Korean women and I’m not gonna rate them higher or lower than other groups but they’re definitely up there.

One of my parents’ best friends is a Japanese lady who encountered the exact same scenario when going some places in both the United States and abroad in the mid-nineties (which is when the aforementioned mentioned scene is set). So sadly an accurate scenario.
Hell, white women didn’t exactly have it any easier if they rolled into a posh hotel and didn’t look the part back then either - as my humble Midwestern relatives can attest. My aunt got the “Pretty Woman” treatment (minus the prostitution part…I think
) in Beverly Hills too.Like @huskyhooligan says, please consider giving the movie another chance. It’s one of the better rom-coms I’ve seen in awhile.
BTW, I don’t know if the buying of the hotel in retaliation has happened in real life, but I do know similar stuff has happened - actress Mae West purchased the Ravenswood Apartments in Los Angeles, California after the management refused to allow her to have her bodyguard, a black man, enter the premises. She was so pissed she bought the whole building.
