Rachel's mother did immigrate from China. So her mom does have, you know, obviously has the lived experience of being from China itself. And even when they're going clothing shopping, like Rachel doesn't know sort of like, the cultural norms around like colors that you wear and and things like that. You can't wear blue and white those are funeral colors, you can wear red because that means lucky just how little it seems like Rachel is aware of their culture.
In this episode, we are jumping into our private jet to discuss the modern day rom com classic, Crazy Rich Asians. We explore the varied ways that culture shock can present via classism, immigration status, assimilation, etc. We also, unfortunately, tear apart the ways that Nick does not show up as a partner for Rachel when it comes to managing the complicated social layers and norms of shifting from one culture to another.
