Others appreciated Barbra’s post on this Reddit thread, writing, “For what it’s worth she does wax poetically about the Choys in her autobiography for a while and it’s just as random and funny when she does it there.”
“i thought this was sweet as a half asian myself, that she was connecting to alyssa in her own way and putting out unifying energy in a time where we are particularly divided, showing a pro immigrant stance when the us has been coming down hard against immigration, but maybe i was wrong 😞,” another Reddit user wrote.
And finally, another commentor said, “Maybe I’m problematic but I give a pass to a boomer who means well even if it’s kind of cringe.”
