#FlowerDrumSong (1961)

Well, it's arguably racist & sexist but it the was one of the 1st major movies that depicted Asians as Americans.

Lots of scenes that I could select but what could beat Nancy Kwan singing "I Enjoy Being A Girl" --as though she were just "any girl" who could get any guy, not a Chinese girl whose choices were limited by anti-misegenation and other discriminatory laws & practices at the time.
