I would not bring this up in a public forum now. It's the time where we are sorting out racist tropes in our society, and while I hate sexism, racism is far worse.

This has been removed from Netflix
But this other work from the same performer is apparently AOK. Honestly, I don't see the difference.
If it's not obvious, the same white man plays the central "Tongan" teen, and the the young woman. They are both hateful portraits, by a man who has more power than either "character".
