The Japanese characters all come off a little racist and inappropriate. I really can’t figure out if Crichton likes or dislikes the Japanese but his characters are offensive and their weaponization of racism as a tool to take advantage of Americans is insane!
Graphic: Xenophobia, Murder, Racism, and Racial slurs
Minor: Rape
