A man is raped by a woman, while both are very drunk. Nudity/etc is not seen and the scene fades out quickly.

The film frames it as cheating, but it is more accurate that a man is raped.

J*p is used by a Chinese character. A white man at the banquet thought that all Chinese people were meek math whizzes.
