This is the most reliable data source for accurate ethnic breakdowns of famous people. Often the information is crowdsourced by users and they cite all their sources (family trees, obituaries, census archives, etc.) on the bottom of the page. The only issue is converting their ambiguous and inconsistent verdicts into quantifiable variables.

Notes
The US Census considers Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Indian, and Bangladeshi as Asians. At ZR we group Pakistanis with the Arab world. And we group Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi with India because 1.) they are all genetically similar as "South Asians and 2.) there are only a handful of actors from those regions in our database.

However, you are viewing the "Asian Alone" category from the US Census when comparing it with Domestic representation. Also note that the 2000 and 2010 estimates include MultiRacial Asians not just "Asian Alone" estimates, and in some categories they include Native Hawaiians as "Asian."

So there is a margin of error less than 1% and some inconsistencies with the grouping.

Message
4/5

You're the hero of your own story. The people we love are never completely gone, because they live in our memories and our stories about them. Your story will live on even after you're gone. Courage, teamwork, and empathy are strong themes.

Role model
4/5

Kubo is loving, brave, and kind. He's a talented storyteller, a devoted son, and a courageous hero once he has to go on his journey. Mother isn't always lucid, but when it counts, she's loving and protective of her son, using her magic to save him. Monkey is a fabulous female role model; she's not human, but she's assertive, brave, and encouraging. She doesn't talk down to Kubo and helps him understand he must prepare to defend himself. Beetle is loyal and protective of Kubo and Monkey.

Violence
4/5

From the opening scene, there's peril and violence in the story. Characters are injured and die. Kubo's eye was stolen by his grandfather, and his father was killed. The fights between the Sisters and Mother and later the Sisters and Monkey, Beetle, and Kubo are intense. Beetle is unexpectedly stabbed in the back after a battle is seemingly over. The huge, scary skeleton almost eats Kubo and his friends, and Kubo almost drowns in another sequence because of hypnotizing sea creatures. The Moon King turns into a frightening giant serpent. An entire village is burned down, but most of the villagers survive the fire. Kubo and his mom wash away upon a shore to hide, and his mom hits herself on the head. The scene in which Kubo is spotted is spooky; his masked aunts say his name in a really eerie way.

Sex
1/5

Kubo's mom recalls how she and his father met and fell in love. In between bickering, Monkey and Beetle flirt a bit, and she gives him a soothing massage.

Language
1/5

Occasional insults like "stupid," "idiot," "an embarrassment," and "weak." Swear stand-ins like "ohhh foot!"

Consumerism
1/5

Nothing in the film itself, but plenty of real-life merchandise/promotional tie-ins.

Drugs
1/5

A villager smokes a pipe.
