I hope this is good, but fear it won't be. The trailer makes me think it's another 'ethnic' movie aimed at the lowest common denominator.

Movie has been seen and word is very enthusiastic.

It's killing me that my theaters don't have times up for this, yet they have some random blood movie on August 15th.

He must've failed to notice this was a WB film and not a Disney one.

Asian? 

 

Ethnic doesn’t mean people of colour but people kept saying it like it does. It made no sense. It’s like calling black people “urban”. People don’t regularly do that publicly anymore, that’s why it’s so strange.

 

This could be an “ethnic” movie:

It was a joke attempt (at trying to find a worst way to say it).

 

But he didn't want to say an other Asian movie (how many of those we got), more a "movie trying to appeal at a undeserved minority demo", suggesting those being easier to bring into theater just by the fact they are on screen for a rare time and the movie does not need to be good to work, getting less budget/effort into them.

Why? Seems to me that a lot of movies that feature minority-race casts often aim at the LCD, by which I mean they try to cop cheap laughs or drama by playing on racial/ethnic stereotypes. This goes back to the so-called "blaxploitation" movies of the early 1970s. They traffic in racist caricatures and reinforce those ideas in the minds of majority-race (i.e., white) people already so inclined - basically the most ignorant kind. They are racially/socially harmful in that regard. 

Hope CRA isn't that kind of film, but I fear it might be.

The books are not LCD at all and there's no reason why movies based on them should be.
