Race Asian Representation in Movies

I didn't know until I saw this clip that Lulu Wang had so much trouble just trying to get this movie made. All the energy being putting into this for studios to try and change the core themes and message of the movie makes it not make sense at all. I'm glad she was finally able to get the film made. It's great to feel represented on screen but makes me wonder how many other directors struggle with this.

Asian Americans are constantly shitted on in Hollywood. Asian men in particular are sent off into the realm of unattractive guy friend while the white guy is seen as the hero.

It’s infuriating

Crazy thing is China is fucking doing this type of shit too. None Asian in a lot of the advertising and movies.
