Thoughts
As a Chinese woman, reading this was both very knowledgeable and harrowing.
I learned a lot more and learning music history for piano in highschool, I had to analyze Madama Butterfly. However, I had only focused on its musical composition and how it related to the story line. I completely forgot about it until today when reading your entry and realizing how the plot has many racial implications.
I started reading a bit more and yeah, wow this wiki made me really think more about some of the popular films I've watched and analyzing them.
I came across this article which really speaks to some of the things you've mentioned which I found very interesting: https://www.yomyomf.com/an-open-letter-to-white-people-on-their-love-for-madama-butterfly/
