Not exacty hate speech, but the majority of the film is about a white washed play where western actors play stereotypical Japanese characters

There's a scene I found triggering where a female actor insists she wants to wear a corset on stage (she can't because of the Japanese costume). She;d worried she won't have a figure without and, and they make comments saying Japanese women 'don't have figures'

When Gilbert's elderly father visits him, he appears to have some sort of panic attack that includes seeing visions. (It is possibly signifying dementia, but nothing is said after his episode.)
