1. This is a thoughtful critique about how Da 5 Bloods represents the Vietnamese but I want to take issue with one point, which might illuminate some larger cultural issues.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/movies/da-5-bloods-vietnam.html?action=click&module=Editors%20Picks&pgtype=Homepage …

5. In Da 5 Bloods, the Black character who uses the slur is clearly a troubled individual and other characters immediately call him on it. It's a piece of characterization, not endorsed by movie.

6. You can articulate an ideal that ethnic slurs can't be expressed in art even if that limits the ability to depict racism. I'd disagree, but that's a consistent standard. But it's not true to say Lee is saying slur against Vietnamese can be depicted by n-word not.
