Anti-Asian racism is a major theme of the book, which was largely absent from the author's Crazy Rich Asians series. The book also explores antisemitism, but the Jewish and Asian characters do no find solidarity with each other and often compete for a place in a White dominated society. Some readers might think of this as antisemitic, it isn't my place to say.
