I dont understand how one could misinterpret Asian Female Sell-out with Asian American. Why would one support Asian American movement and yet devote her life to a non-asian. In laymans terms, Asian female who marry White men, can not truly understand the Asian-American movement, and can not justify their 'sympathy' or 'pity' towards Asian-American struggle. Our plight is not to become as 'White' as we can, yet claim our identities as Asian-American. It is just full of oxymoron, contradiction, and false pretenses.

I find this movie typical of Asian females, white men, and an insult to the true Asian-AMerican crusaders.
