This documentary is very multicultural and educational, I'm from Cali so I could strongly relate to the attitudes. I'm a documentary addict and this one is my favorite so far, shooting it in black and white was genius it sets the right tone. - @Friday, March 9, 2018 4:18 PM

Hard work always pays off. People nowadays call laziness a racism as a pill or excuse for their failures. Unfortunately, not everyone is equal or dedicated to what one does, which might cloud someone's perception of things. Asians have always been working HARD for their bread on the table and G***z, mostly black community pulling the gun as an exemption from liabilities in Life... EZ way... - @Wednesday, March 7, 2018 6:07 PM

greetings folks, you tube erased my comment before i even finished replying and commenting. folks, and to all koreans, so called north american continent is korean land proven by dna science. libraries can be more than filled up with such realities and histories. even caucasian anthropologists have major problems in admitting so when asked. china will never let korea have peace as proven in the past 4,500 year non stop, now, and intothe future. prc is nervous because 'paek du' mountain is the cradle of korea, which is also in the national anthem of the republic of the great han's people. china still occupies korea. the so called russian federation does also. once again, libraries can be filled up regarding just these facts and realities. folks, we do not know what we do not know, so we must know. folks, kindly allow me share a treasure. i was enlightened by God to this during quite trying times of my life more than a quarter of a century ago. 'the purpose of a higher educations is to pursue on's passions to serve humanity, not society. should us human have this as a one common and true goal, we could be able to deal with the travails of the world. folks, spread the word and practice this. once again, as i wrote above, libraries can be filled up with just this reality and facts. folks, we do not know what we do not know, so we must know. an example is who is number one in the drug world. it is so called queen elizabeth the second. that is one reason i id not become a cop for decade, decades ago. check how you tube erased such comments and or replies on you tube regarding this. once again folks, libraries can be filled up with such facts and realities. folks, list for real the sponsors of terrorism. that includes japan, usa, china canada, france, spain, italy, vatican, netherland, belgium, etc, etc. once again folks, libraries can be filled up with theses facts and realities. folks, make your choice. would you rather be born and raised in dprk or rok?

Hope to not be disappointed but probably will be. The real cause of violence like racist historical policies against Blacks, dystopian ghettos and a fair amount of condescending attitude by Koreans and huge difference in Asian attitudes when interacting to a white and black made retaliation and bad blood inevitable. At the same time the movie should show the Azn viewpoint like recent immigration, whitewashed parents, financial constraints and general insular attitude of the old generation and how the younger generation is breaking the mould. However the movie will probably not give context and just show Asians as victims. Good movie making requires objectivity and that becomes even more important with a low budget one - @Tuesday, August 1, 2017 9:39 PM

this movie should have came out years ago. its been far too long that asians have been ignored in this part of history. like it was just black and white. it saddens me. they ignore a whole group of people. im glad they had the courage to make this movie. hate the title but love it anyway. - @Friday, July 28, 2017 4:47 PM
