American-born Chinese

The term American-born Chinese is considered by some as an ethnic slur. Please have a look at American-born_Chinese. It is true that I am one of that article's editors. However, the article's inclusion into the Wikipedia category of Ethnic Slurs far predates my editing. I was hoping that someone could change American-born Chinese to "American of Chinese descent." Instead of saying "American-born Chinese economics professor" which sounds simply absurd, since it seems to imply that Constance Wu is a "Chinese economics professor" who just happens to be "American-born," I suggest changing the designation to "American economics professor of Chinese descent," or "American economics professor of Chinese ancestry."

Feedback

Sailorstarlight, I saw that you created this article. Thanks for adding the details! Can you add a film infobox to the article too? You can copy the code from {{Infobox film}}. Also, you need to rewrite the "Plot" section in your own words because passing off the synopsis as Wikipedia's own is plagiarism. I can provide other feedback as needed.

We need to expand the article to have more general production details because right now, the "Ethnic casting" section is looking like a coatrack. If we have other details and summarize the casting debate more succinctly, it would be better balanced overall. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 14:14, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
