Rainbow Rowell’s YA Novel “Eleanor and Park” is a Racist Piece of Trash

And Dreamworks was going to make it into a movie.

I truly believe this book had the potential to be a captivating young love story, but it was ruined by Rainbow Rowell’s offensive depictions of Asian-Americans. And for some reason, racism wasn’t a deal-breaker for Dreamworks and Picturestart.
