Birdman, the film.
Is it racist towards far-easterners?
That’s the impression the film gave me, from the following:
1. When the main protagonist, a middle aged white male, wakes up on the pavement, he hears ‘Birdman’ say to him:
You get that mongoloid look when you’re hung over, don’t you?
2. When the main protagonist is talking to his blonde daughter on Skype, we see she is at a flower stall. She shouts at the bumbling Korean man behind her, telling him to to ‘Shut up’. After this she says of the flowers:
It all smells like fucking kimchi.
3. Shortly after the kimchi declaration, the main protagonist is interviewed by a Japanese journalist. The man is a star-struck embarrassment who asks excitedly in broken English with a thick accent:
Birdman 4? You do Birdman 4?
In the dock are the four writers, including the director:
Alejandoro Inarritu
Nicolas Giacobone
Alexander Dinelaris
Armando Bo
Apart from the casual racism – Asians evidently the acceptable targets of such offhand antagonism in 21st Century Hollywood – the film is a well crafted piece of post-modernism (wink, wink); and the camera work – probably the most impressive thing about the script – a nice homage to Hitchcock’s one take illusion in Rope.
Know Idea 
The characters are very frequently unsympathetic and the movie is critical of them for being so; the first two instances of racism here seem like examples of that, of the movie showing these characters to be racist assholes without condoning it.
No excuse for the third one, though. It’s a genuinely nasty line and never fails to make me wince.
