It’s like how Voicemails for Isabelle had a Filipino ask what a kumquat is, but his white wife knew? Make it make sense

It’s so weird bc like. We’re not interchangeable 😭 I’m all for Filipino/viet rep but not when it’s treated like you can just swap them without thought.

Y’all, we know in the book she’s Vietnamese and that the actor is Filipino. I think they’re trying to say that they could’ve at least changed the name to a Filipino one bc it’s very much a Vietnamese name

As a Filipino, I didn't hear her family mentioning adobo, so I was confused when my sisters said that she's Filipino when I knew that she was Viet in the book. Then Olive says Anh is Filipino which baffled me because even if there are Ann/Anne's in the Philippines, it's not Anh. Also, my youngest sister who's a huge newjeans fan clocked the Pham at the credits. She said Pham is a vietnamese surname, and even brought Hanni in the conversation lmao.

No I thought they made her mixed or something bc I could tell it was a viet name and as a Filipina ahn isn’t a common filipino name so maybe she was mixed with filo but no?? 😭

if they plan on making a sequel they can fix this by making anh as half viet and fili.

they shouldve literally changed the spelling bc “Anh” sounds like “ann or anne” which is a typical filipino name 😭😭

no bc if they wanted the character's ethnicity to match the actor then they should have changed the name. but if they wanted to keep the character's name, keep her ethnicity and pull a tatbilb lana condor viet-playing-korean

I’m just going to assume movie Anh is half viet half Filipina but is closer to her mom’s Filipino side so they spent Christmas with them 😭

My favorite pub sub maker is a Filipina named anh. It did throw me off, but as a Filipino I can also say Filipinos just be naming their kids anything with no rhyme or reason. I’ve met a first name LeBron James
