Colorado State University predicted an active hurricane season, with an estimated seven hurricanes projected to form. Now, according to a new study released last earlier in June, forecasters predicted “below average” activity. Forecasters attribute the below average activity to a colder than normal tropical Atlantic. The colder waters are associated with higher pressure and more stable atmosphere halting the development of tropical cyclones and hurricane activity.

The everlasting abandonment of Flint Florida isn’t the only place without clean water By Paris McDougle Contributing Writer @FGCUEagleNews Remember a few years ago, 2014 to be exact, when you turned on the TV, and there was suddenly extensive news coverage of the water crisis in Flint, Michigan? Reporters wore convincingly sympathetic expressions as they interviewed and received testimonials from residents of the predominantly black Flint community, whose water suddenly smelled, looked and tasted funny. It was only a matter of months before a group of doctors publicly urged Flint to change their water source. Why? According to the Associated Press, there were repeated cases of lead detected in children’s blood. Mothers on the news cried
because they couldn’t properly bathe or cook for their kids, while other residents expressed sheer anger or disappointment in the government. For a while, Americans couldn’t escape this coverage. There were nationwide protests and fundraisers in attempt to aid those in Flint. However, as time passed, the issue became less and less visible. There was a full-blown crisis, and most Americans forgot that it ever happened. This whole fiasco began in April 2014 when Mayor Dayne Walling cut Flint’s water supply from Detroit, where it had been sourced for 50 years and switched it to the Flint river. Of course, this action was an attempt to save money. Flint’s 100,000 residents were told the move
was temporary while the city transitioned to a newer regional system. So, here we are, four years later - surely things have gotten better for Flint, right? Wrong, actually. In June of last year, Flint experienced a deadly outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease that was directly related to the water’s low chlorine levels. Michigan’s Health and Human Services Director, Nick Lyon, was charged with involuntary manslaughter. So, in case you don’t get it, as recently as June of last year, people were still getting sick, and even dying as a result of using Flint’s water. Where was all the news coverage? Where were the viral Go-Fund Me’s? Instead, our senses were overloaded with updates about Trump’s
disaster administration, Amazon taking over Whole Foods and how well the Wonder Woman movie did in the box office. All far more important things, clearly. As we were nice and distracted, people continued to get sick and unsuspecting Flint residents kept dropping dead. Nothing was being done. When was the last time you heard President Trump speak on the water crisis? The only time that I can recall is when he traveled to Flint back in 2016 and appropriately broke the ice by saying, “It used to be cars were made in Flint, and you couldn’t drink the water in Mexico. Now, the cars are made in Mexico and you can’t drink the water in Flint.” How diplomatic and presidential, right? Perhaps even
more diplomatic and presidential is the fact that he hasn’t breathed a word about Flint’s water situation since then. As a matter of fact, he visited Michigan back in April, where he gave an 80-minute speech and failed to mention the ongoing water crisis right down the street. Why is America choosing to blatantly ignore such a dangerous situation? The residents of Flint are literally being poisoned and left for dead in their own community with zero visibility or acknowledgment from anyone. It is very hard to believe that it has nothing to do with the fact that Flint is a predominantly black area. Inner cities have been forever swept under the rug by the federal government and the media, and Flint is no different. These entities are quick
to point out how poverty stricken and dysfunctional areas like Flint are, criticizing them for gang violence and such. However, by ignoring these areas in crucial times of need as people are struggling to get by or even losing their lives, they’re committing their own version of violence. How hard would it really be for the federal government to investigate Flint’s water crisis? A few water tests here, some funding there and the city would be well on its way to recovery. People would stop dying and children would stop getting sick. But, as long as the government continues to see inner cities as unimportant ghettoes, nothing will ever be done, and the crisis will continue to worsen in the shadows. Nice, America!
Red tide is a cyclic event, but it shouldn’t be this bad By Krista Prince Assistant Opinion Editor @KristaPrince_ The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission released its red tide status update on Friday, and it reports low to high concentrations both along shore and offshore Lee and Collier County. This year, the red tide bloom has lasted nearly a year and is thought to have been the worst bloom since the 2005 hurricane season. But why has the red tide bloom of 2018 been so bad? Dr. Michael P. Crosby, president and CEO of Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, states, “The ongoing red tide bloom is a naturally occurring cyclic event that is not initiated by outflows
from Lake Okeechobee, nor inputs from the Caloosahatchee River.” According to the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, unlike many harmful algal blooms (HABs) which are linked to coastal nutrient pollution, scientists have found no direct link between nutrient pollution and the start of red tide, or the frequency or severity of red tides. There has also been no evidence to show a connection between global warming and worsening red tide blooms. “Whether climate change will make these more frequent is something that we just don’t know right now,” Quay Dortch, a program manager for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in an interview with USA
Today. The fact of the matter is that there hasn’t been enough research done in order to see if climate change and outflows from Lake Okeechobee are causing such a horrible outbreak of red tide in southwest Florida. However, according to the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, the greatest nutrient source of red tide blooms was the decay and recycling of cyanobacteria (blue-green alga) Trichodesmium. This is exactly what is being brought from Lake Okeechobee to the Gulf of Mexico. If the red tide algae have a higher amount of nutrients being brought to it, it is logical to see a link between more intense blooms. Yes, red tide is a cyclical event, but it has nev-

er killed this much marine life before, and it has never devastated coastal communities on such a large scale. Despite the lowering levels from earlier in the season, it is not time to forget about the upset of marine and coastal life. The very fact that through hours of research all I could come
up with while writing this article is that there isn’t enough evidence to support either claim. This is a testament that something needs to be done. We need people to pay attention because Florida is in a full-blown, but avoidable, water crisis. We need to pay atten-
tion to the legislation and legislators who allow bills to pass that worsen the water quality in Florida. We need to pay attention as FGCU students and citizens of a coastal community because of our experiences. Dead fish and the smell of red tide are proof enough that something isn’t quite right.

Give me liberty or give me Google By Veronica Armbruster Contributing Writer @ adecentcoffe1 Normally, I try to stay far away as I can from the daily struggles between the modern American media and President Trump. It hasn’t done anything positive for me. It has nothing to do with any of my classes this semester. Plus, I’m fairly sure that neither entity cares for my personal opinion on their sibling rivalry. However, when an American president decides to go after Google so that he himself can decide whether or not reports of him have been
“rigged” against him in a negative light, that goes beyond the even farthest reaching scope of the Oval Office. Yes, you read my words correctly. Google - a global company which allows literally anyone on the planet to search for information on their programing to their heart’s content. Google is being attacked by the President for giving him bad press. That goes from mere squabbling to: Is the president trying to start censoring the media – and in turn – the American public? Or more constitutionally succinct: Is the president violating the
first amendment of the constitution? Or even more bluntly: Is the president nuts!? Now I cannot attest to President Trump’s state of mind at all times. Nor am I familiar with the pattern of his mental health. Nevertheless, trying to attack one of the largest tech companies in the United States as far as the fairness of its use is concerned is akin to attacking the average high school history textbook for not recording last week’s mass shooting in Jacksonville, Florida on the spot. It’s simply ludicrous. Google and its’ world
famous search engine – while maintained by hundreds of engineers who can tweak the main algorithm should they choose to do so – is simply a product made by a company which has nothing to do election results or even bad press. If President Trump wants to stop bad news about him from spreading, that’s going to take a lot more than just a White House investigation of Google. He essentially is going to have to stop the free press – and knowingly violate the Constitution and the amendments he swore to uphold during his inauguration.
Even if he managed to accomplish that, he could never stop people from communicating, even if it was simple cuneiform being drawn in the dirt with a stick. If President Trump really feels like he is getting too much bad press. If he feels like he is getting rigged by non-sentiment based search engines. Even if he still thinks that the Dark State is after him. Then perhaps he should start by examining his own flagrant behavior. Start by acting less like a teenager pandering to his friends for his voter base and more like an actual adult who actually un-
derstands the pressures and responsibilities of the public office that he was elected for. That way individuals would not be turned away from the press that President Trump is trying so hard to put to put to bed. I understand that President Trump’s voter base felt left out of the domestic political conversation and that’s why they elected him. However, every leader – regardless of their party affiliation – is going to get bad press on everything they do, whether they like it or not. That’s the price they pay for supporting protected political speech.

Men’s soccer falls to No. 1 Wake Forest
EN Photo / Bret Munson The FGCU men’s soccer team fell 3-1 to Wake Forest Saturday night. O’ Vonte Mullings scored his third goal of the season assisted by Shak Adams (above).
By Kyle Grosskopf Contributing Writer @Kyle_Grosskopf The FGCU men’s soccer team fell to No. 1 Wake Forest this weekend at home. This was the highest seeded team that the Eagles have faced at the Nest. Wake Forest came out strong from the start of the match scoring a goal in 4:56.
The goal came from Bruno Lapa, who had an assist from Omir Fernandez. Lapa also had a free kick in the 21st minute from 25 yards out, but missed wide of the left post. After that quick goal, defense stepped up for both teams as redshirt sophomore Connor Gavigan had a save against Wake Forest’s six shots in the first half.
The Deacons’ goalkeeper had a save against FGCU’s four shots. In the 41st minute, Wake Forest was able to score a second goal led by Machop Chol, who was assisted by Alistair Johnston from 18 feet out on a pass and go. That goal put the Deacons up 2-0. A goal from Chol closed out the first half of play. The shutout did not
last long after the start of the second half of play as FGCU was able to score a goal in the 49th minute from O’Vonte Mullings. Mullings scored his third goal of the season assisted by Shak Adams. Defense shined more in the second half as both teams put a barrage of shots. FGCU took more shots in the second as they were able to keep the ball in the offensive zone,
but they could not create many quality chances as the Deacons played hard defense and did not let much get by. In the 74th minute, the Deacons scored again putting them up 3-1 from the foot of Lapa on a penalty kick. Late in the 83rd minute, FGCU got a free kick from 25 out but it sailed over the top of the cross bar. In total, the Eagles had a 12-11 shot advantage,
but the Deacons held the shot on goal advantage to 8-5. Sophomore Connor Gavigan of FGCU also had five saves while Wake Forest’s Andreu Cases Mundet had four. The Eagles will look to bounce back from a loss at home as they take on Georgia Southern in Statesboro, Ga. on Friday Sep 7. Georgia Southern holds a record of 2-0-1 coming into this match.
Women’s soccer receives recognition in NCAA polls
EN Photo / Bret Munson Women’s soccer team captain Holly Fritz leads the team in warm-ups before its 3-2 win over Michigan on Sunday. Fritz scored two of the team’s three goals to secure a win.
By Jordyn Matez Sports Editor @JordynMatez The FGCU women’s soccer team has received votes in the latest NCAA top 25 poll for the first time in two years. The last time the Eagles found themselves on the list was in 2016 during the preseason poll. In the latest polls, FGCU sits in the 38th position and is the only team in the ASUN conference to hold a spot in the top 100. Starting the season off with a strong 4-0 record, FGCU is one of just 12
national programs to have an undefeated record thus far. With their recent defeat of Michigan and Alabama, the Eagles also find their sixth straight season to defeat a Power 5 team. Currently, FGCU ranks seventh nationally among collegiate soccer teams with 3.25 goals per game. They also rank within the top 10 in points per game, with 9.25, and assists per game, with 2.75. FGCU is one of just eight of the 46 teams in the polls to reside outside of the Power 5.
Other teams in the poll include Power 5 teams such as Stanford, North Carolina and Florida State. In the ASUN conference, junior Evdokia Popadinova and senior Holly Fritz lead the ASUN with four goals apiece. Both also rank in the top five in the ASUN points, with Popadinova’s 10 points ranking third and Fritz’s eight points tie her for fourth. Next, the Eagles will travel to Columbus, Ohio to take on another significant team in the polls, Ohio State, on Friday, September 7 at 5 p.m.

Eagles start season 4-0 with win over Michigan
EN Photo / Bret Munson Holly Fritz scores her first goal against Michigan on a header assisted by Marjorie Boilesen. Fritz scored two of FGCU’s three goals against Michigan on Sunday. By Jordyn Matez Sports Editor @JordynMatez In a fight to beat the University of Michigan, the FGCU women’s soccer team secured a win to give them their first 4-0 record start since 2007. Offense led the game on both sides, with 12 shots from the Eagles and 11 from the
Wolverines. The Eagles started off the game with an aggressive approach, keeping the ball within range of Michigan’s net for the first minutes. In the third minute, junior Evdokia Popadinova managed to get a shot in, but some foul play by the Eagles led to Michigan taking the upper hand as the first half continued.
Fueled by their advantage, Michigan found the net in the eighth minute after a corner kick put them in the right position. However, this upper hand didn’t last long as Marjorie Boilesen set up Holly Fritz for a goal to put FGCU on the scoreboard in the 15th minute. With an even score on the board, Michigan pushed
its offense in an attempt to receive the upper hand. This attack earned the team two shots on goal within three minutes by Reilly Martin and redshirt senior Taylor Timko. The Wolverines couldn’t find the net before the Eagles, however, when Popadinova gave the Eagles their second point of the afternoon with a free kick to reach the net in the 35th minute. The remainder of the half consisted of a point for each team, Michigan’s with 6:20 left on the board and FGCU’s just two minutes after. Sarah Stratigakis of
the Wolverines scored the goal for her team, while the Eagles’ Holly Fritz returned to make the score 3-2 at the half. The second half of the afternoon proved to be just as dirty as the first, with the first minutes of the second half consisting of five fouls between the two teams and a yellow card thrown on Michigan’s Hailey Neumann. Both teams also saw many opportunities at the net, resulting in some spectacular saves on both sides of the field. A penalty kick for FGCU led to a double save by Michigan goalkeeper
Izzy Nino, while FGCU goalkeeper Melissa Weck saw two saves within a span of two minutes shortly into the second half. In the final minutes of play, the Eagles ran down the clock and kept Michigan away from the net offensively in order to secure a win. “We talked about the opportunity this was for our team before the game” Jim Blankenship said. “Our kids worked their tails off this week and were rewarded for it. We hope as long as they continue to go out and put up results, we will get the respect that they deserve.”

During a loss to Wake Forest this past weekend, Mullings had three chances at the net and gave FGCU their first and only goal of the night against the Deacons. Mullings also recently earned the ASUN Player of the Week award as a freshman following his performance in a game against Presbyterian College, where he scored FGCU’s only two goals to secure a win. He is the first freshman to receive the award in almost a year and the first Eagle to receive the honor in over two years. Due to his performance against Presbyterian, Mullings briefly led the ASUN in goals for men’s soccer.

Women’s soccer shuts out Niagara 3-0 By Kyle Grosskopf and Emily Kois Contributing Writer @Kyle_Grosskopf The FGCU women’s soccer earns a 3-0 victory over Niagara in the first of two games this weekend. Defense was prominent early on, as only three shots were taken in the first 24 minutes of play. However, in the 25th minute of play Holly Fritz put the Eagles on the scoreboard with a shot just outside the box. In the first half, each side put two shots on net. Most of the first half was played in the middle of the pitch as neither team could start any quality chances. Early in the second half, Fritz narrowly missed another goal opportunity, but couldn’t capitalize on a chance from the corner. Moments later, Silvana Gordon and
Shay Jackson were able to put together a play. On a cross from Jackson to Popadinova, Evdokia Popadinova was able to score her third goal of season and give the Eagles a 2-0 advantage. FGCU kept the pace of play up on Niagara by taking more and more chances on goal as the game approached the 70th minute mark. The Eagles scored the final goal of the game when junior Opal Curless was able to send the ball upfield to connect with Jackson at the top of the box, who then gave a header pass to Gordon at point blank range. Niagara kept fighting offensively until the clock ran out of time, eventually finding an attack point and getting three shots off. One shot hit the crossbar while the other two sailed over
the goal. The Eagles had a clean sheet victory 3-0. Goalkeeper Melissa Weck recorded her 21st career shutout after making a pair of saves from the only two on goal shots that she saw. The Eagles held the shot advantage to 13-9 while putting six of the shots on net compared to the Purple Eagles’ two shots. With this win, along with three others to the start of their season, the Eagles are now 4-0. This is the teams first 4-0 record start since 2007. Next, the Eagles will take on Ohio State in Columbus. This matchup will take place on Friday, Sept. 7 with a 5 p.m. kickoff time. The Eagles are 0-1 against the Buckeyes.

DIY: Increase dorm space By Trinia Oliver E&L Assistant Editor @fgcueaglenews The benefits of living on campus can sometimes be a rivaling aspect against the ratio of roommates to the desired living space. In housing layouts such as those of South Village, North Lake, and The Reef it can be a challenging experience, but there are tricks and strings to pull that can give the illusion of expanded space while also eliminating clutter. All of these tricks are easy, cheap, and are useful for students who return from
home with more luggage than when they left. If you have a ring full of keys—or perhaps just enough keys to get confused or forgetful about their use—by coloring the handle of each individual key is a great way to help the brain remember what each key’s purpose is. Color the desired key with a choice of nail polish color, or glitter, or whatever appealing indicator of choice. For the little lost things, such as paper clips, push pins, hair pins, rings, bolts, and nail clippers or other metallic knickknacks you would rather not step on, a
mini magnetic tray can help them find a place until their home is found. The purpose of the magnetic tray is similar to key dishes set on the bookshelf en route to the front door. These mini trays can be found at affordable prices in stores such as Lowes, AutoZone, or Walmart, and its size can range from four to six inches wide depending on what the store carries. Next, only a primer and then your choice of spray-paint color is needed to finish the job on the mini tray. If your room is without a nightstand, by using an empty magazine holder
(also called a magazine file), primer, paint or spray paint, and few other materials, a “floating” nightstand can be hung in the corner above your bed. If it’s desired to change the look of the holder, this is where the paint or spray paint come in: by taking the appropriate precautions beforehand, roll the primer on the surfaces wanting color. Next, once the primer thoroughly dries, paint or spray paint whatever color or pattern of choice—painting the edges of the holder may be desired; using a glossy paint may also be an option. Lastly, to position
your new nightstand, turn the holder on its side, the corner of the holder matching against the corner of the wall and make it “float” by hanging with nails, removable hangers, or strong Command Strips. This nightstand also provides a nice cubby to fit small objects like cell phones, keys, pens, thin paperback books, and even a place to set photographs on. If making a shelf is not of interest or against policies of your housing, another option is taking small buckets and connecting them all with thin rope tied at the handles on either side, thus creating
hanging organizers to go along the wall. The small buckets should be hung one underneath the other in a train starting from looping a bit of rope from the topmost bucket, the starting bit of string hung by a hook in the wall. But if all else fails, purchasing plastic storage drawers is the easiest way to go. These drawers can be purchased in stores like Walmart, Target, or Sam’s Club. Taping patterned and/ or colored paper to the inside of the drawers facing out is a good way to add flare while concealing the storage inside.
MOVIE OF THE WEEK
MUSIC OF THE WEEK LIFE OF PI
A NIGHT AT THE OPERA
Based on the 2001 book by Yann Martel, it tells the story of a boy who survives a shipwreck. He ends up alone in a boat alongside various animals from his family’s zoo. One of which is a Bengal tiger called Richard Parker. This four-time award winning movie is a visually stunning masterpiece. It takes you on a journey of self-discovery, that makes you wonder about your place in the world.
Masterminded mostly by Freddie Mercury’s genius songwriting and composing skills, this classic album from the legendary rock group Queen, officially put them on the road to worldwide success. Unforgettable songs like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Love of my Life,” “Seaside Rendezvous” and “You’re My Best Friend” are some of its highlights.
Crazy Rich Americans By Bruno Halpern E&L Editor @brunowesome What does it take for a movie to be considered inclusive, representative of different non-white groups? Is it merely having a minority shown in a respectful manner, free of stereotypes? Does an all-Asian cast suffice? Or maybe representation is (or should be) something more profound, that goes beyond simply avoiding stereotypes and playing Mahjong? Probably something that encompasses values, culture and ways of thinking. While the former is important -- essential even -the latter should be the one we, as a society, and Hollywood, be striving for. Because, besides having an all-Asian cast (which, again, is crucial and long overdue), there is nothing genuinely Asian about the movie “Crazy Rich Asians.” First, let’s remember that Asia is the largest continent in the world, that includes completely diverse countries like Russia, India, Israel and Pakistan. So, the title of the movie is already problematic. But maybe I’m nitpicking in this one. However, it’s important to point out that the movie mostly references people from China and Singapore. But let me get straight to the point: my main gripe with this movie is that there was no significant, non-stereotypical or cliché representation of Asian culture (mahjong and dumplings are stereotypical). Sure, the cast was composed by Asian and Asian-American only, and they were portrayed as normal human beings. Props to that. And the movie was a
huge success, proving that you don’t need Matt Damon in China to make money. But it’s a pity that, in order to do that, the filmmakers, and maybe the writer of the book as well (I wouldn’t know because I didn’t read it), are so immersed in American culture that they didn’t realize that “Crazy Rich Asians” is a story about Americans and American culture, not Asians. What is Asian (more specifically, Chinese or Singaporean) about a walk-downthe-aisle wedding? Seems very Western to me. Do people there really do bachelor parties, or is this an American tradition? Do people in China or Singapore really do proposals? I bet they don’t. Why? Because this is something an American, not an Asian, would do. Going in, I expected to learn something about how Chinese and Singaporeans think, most specifically about weddings and about immigrants. I wondered how they would the guy’s crazy rich family react to an Asian-American and what kinds of prejudices that could entail. But that didn’t happen besides a couple of references here and there. The main problem for his family regarding the main character was not that she was born and raised in America. She wasn’t rich or in high society, so they couldn’t accept her. And it doesn’t require a lot to discover why. Let’s play a simple game: replace every actor with white actors, and the setting to New York. Think about the story and the plot points. By doing so, ‘Crazy’ becomes just another rom-com movie, with the suspicious, harsh mother-in-law, the

non-accepting family, the jealous ex, the quirky friend, the creepy brother-in-law, the sage-like grandma, the parent with a hidden past, letting go of riches for love, etc.And the small references to Asian culture are commonplace and unremarkable. It’s not a game of mahjong or dumpling-making that will deepen our understanding of Asian culture. Oh, and it’s not a red dress or an unexplained commentary of a nose being auspicious that will change that. For those that enjoyed the movie, and recognized and applauded the importance of Asian representation in Western movies -- at long last -- it might even seem heretical to say that ‘Crazy’ doesn’t have Asian culture embedded in it. The unfortunate truth is that every Asian actor is replaceable with anyone from any other race simply because this movie is a wasteland regarding cultural representation. It’s certainly a movie about American culture, or perhaps rich American life-
style. If the movie were about Asian-Americans, it would not be as noticeable or problematic. But the only Asian-American in the movie is the main character, and she didn’t learn anything significant about how people from that part of Asia think. Because, according to the movie, Singaporeans of Chinese descent think like rich Americans. I just think that cultural representation is even more significant. Otherwise, it seems that everyone in the world behaves just as Americans do (regarding weddings, at least). Unfortunately, ‘Crazy’ is just another American romcom disguised as representative of Asian culture. Let me be clear about something: I was quite excited to see this movie. The reviews and reactions made me even more excited. However, I was disappointed. By the way, the main rich Asian boyfriend is a douche. He invites her to Singapore to meet his (almost) royal
family, but he doesn’t even consider that she will very likely feel enormous pressure and feel like a fish out of water. Oh, and that she will most definitely be cast aside for not being rich. That alone is reason enough not to marry the guy. Communication skills: zero. But let’s compare ‘Crazy’ to another movie that has a wedding and sets the intention to discuss and compare different cultures: “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” Well, there’s just no comparison. ‘Greek’ is unique, funny, charming, and you genuinely feel you learned something from Greek culture. There are layers after layers of subtle references to how Greeks think. ‘Greek’ immerses you and shows, point blank, the cultural differences between Greeks and Americans. What did I learn from Asian culture from ‘Crazy’? Absolutely nothing. Unless Asians from Singapore are thoroughly Americanized. But maybe I’m asking for too much. Maybe having an all-Asian cast is enough. From what I’ve seen and heard, Asian-Americans are very happy to see themselves represented in a non-stereotypical way. I wonder if people born and raised in China and Singapore feel the same, though. It’s actually a bit sad to me that to show a non-stereotypical version of Asians the solution was to portray them acting like Americans. It devalues their own values and culture. But maybe I’m wrong and Chinese and Singaporean people are very much like Americans nowadays. Again, a conflict that the movie flirted with but never
fully developed was the difference and prejudice between Asian and Asian-Americans. If adequately elaborated, this would be extremely relevant and very interesting. Unfortunately, the central conflict was the uninspired rich versus poor storyline. She didn’t fit in not because she was American, but because she was a commoner. If she was a rich Asian-American from a respected family, I doubt there would be this level of rejection. But who am I to say anything, right? I’m a white guy from Brazil. I have no connection to Asia whatsoever. Who am I to say what is inclusive and representative or not? The only thing I can do is offer my perspective as someone that isn’t immersed in American culture. This allows me to see this cultural incongruence in ‘Crazy.’ For instance, a movie with an all-Brazilian cast wouldn’t suddenly make the film an accurate representation of Brazilian culture. For that to happen, Brazilian values and way of thinking must be shown. Concluding, it’s undeniable that “Crazy Rich Asians” is a crucial step in the right direction regarding representation of Asian people in Hollywood, and it’s fantastic to witness this change. I don’t mean to spoil the feeling of inclusiveness that so many felt while watching this movie. But Hollywood can and should do more. It’s not only about casting, but also about culture. So please, Hollywood, next time, make a movie that highlights Asian, African, South American cultures as they are, no americanization needed.
