David Tung Can't Have a Girlfriend Unless He Gets Into an Ivy League College by Ed Lin
2.0
The set-up of this is very relatable to Asian Americans. I loved how roles of status and generation played a role. Lin had some good commentary on life in NYC Chinatown, showing evictions and racism in a light I haven’t seen before.
However, the stereotypes of girls were mind numbing. It was so annoying. Every girl is just this cardboard cut out of Regina George, EXCEPT the girl he likes. But unlike “other girls”, she doesn’t keep up with fashion or try hard. It was a struggle to get through this.
The cringy dialogue and lack of plot was also hard to get through.
