more concerned about hiring POC actors to be PC. Not because there was a curiosity in the thing that made them unique. I was going out for the auditions that were \u201cthe best friend\u201d or \u201cthe assistant\u201d to sort of \u201cput color\u201d around the lead white person\u2019s story.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Lucy Liu<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<b>\u00a0<\/b>I wish people wouldn\u2019t just see me as the Asian girl who beats everyone up, or the Asian girl with no emotion. People see Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock in a romantic comedy, but not me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Daniel Wu\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t want to play an Asian character that white America finds cute and funny because it\u2019s a variation of Long Duk Dong in <i>Sixteen Candles<\/i>. I remember going to a <i>Rush Hour 2<\/i> premiere and talking to a producer, and he was really excited talking to me because Hong Kong films were really kind of cool at the moment\u2026And he goes, \u201cHow come you don\u2019t have an accent?\u201d And I told him that I was from Berkeley. And immediately I wasn\u2019t as interesting to him anymore, and he walked away. But if I was from Hong Kong, and with a funny accent, maybe i\u2019d been cuter to him, and more something that you can market. <\/p>\n<p><b>Steven Yeun &#8211;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>People ask, \u201cSo, how are the roles now? You must be getting so many!\u201d And it\u2019s like, I don\u2019t know if you know, but i\u2019m Asian still. It\u2019s not a complaint, that\u2019s just how it is now, and I have to forge my own path through it and see that through. I think that if I had not been Asian, I probably would have a whole plethora of roles, at least to audition for, but it\u2019s just not what has been written.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Ming-Na Wen &#8211; <\/b>That\u2019s definitely been my lifelong career goal; to break stereotypes and not be afraid to embrace what our culture has to offer. <\/p>\n<p><b>John Cho &#8211;<\/b> I experienced racism, and in my professional life, I try to take roles (and have always tried to take roles) that don\u2019t fall within the parameters of any Asian stereotype. And so to me, hopefully, that\u2019s a positive thing I can put into popular culture and so maybe in some bizarrely tiny way that helps people not think of Asians in one particular way.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ardon Cho &#8211;\u00a0<\/b>Turning down another role. Super-hot Asian trophy wife with a thick Asian accent. No thanks. #racist Even though it\u2019s a studio film with stars.<\/p>\n<p><b>Daniel Dae Kim &#8211;<\/b> I\u2019m such a fan of films and books like Lord of the Rings and even Star Wars, despite the fact that, as an actor, I\u2019ll never be employed by them, simply because of my race.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sandra Oh &#8211;<\/b> I\u2019d always known that I worked in an industry that blatantly excluded people based on their race. But i\u2019d believed, naively, that I could break through those barriers if I just worked hard enough. I still have to squeeze my way into auditions, because people often can\u2019t imagine that someone who looks the way I do could play a certain role. It doesn\u2019t occur to them &#8211; but I know I can make it occur to them, if they just give me a chance.<\/p>\n<p><b>Daniel Henney &#8211;<\/b> I grew up in a farm town and was the only Asian. So you looked at television for inspiration. Even then, there was nothing aside from martial artists and sidekicks with accents. The Asian man has been desexualized ; in Western media] and that\u2019s something I always fought against.<\/p>\n<p><b>Masi Oka &#8211;<\/b> Hollywood is fickle, it follows trends. If a show or a film did well with an Asian lead, then it would take off.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While it\u2019s great that Heroes made Masi Oka a main character and one of the most lovely and kind and genuinely heroic of characters not going to lie I will always side eye the way it had him pretend to have a much thicker accent than he actually had and play a character who struggled to learn english when the actual actor speaks english perfectly well and does not have anywhere near as strong an accent as Hiro has\u2026like, the Petrelli\u2019s are an Italian-American family but they don\u2019t have Peter and Nathan talking like Mario and Luigi but with the asian character him they decide has to basically have \u2018This is a Japanese Man from Japan\u2019 tattooed on his forehead<\/p>\n<p>Like it might not even be a concious thing I mean Hiro\u2019s actual character is very lovely and neat so I don\u2019t think the writers were conciously TRYING to be racist against Japanese people but I do feel like there is some subconcious racism at work there in how they wrote his character<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They at least let  Masi Oka use his real voice when he played future Hiro<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is true \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>thefingerfuckingfemalefury: blackphoenix1977: thefingerfuckingfemalefury: writingwithcolor: eastasiansonwesternscreen: East Asians on Western Screen \u2013 Text Printed across GIFS reads: Constance Wu\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0I think in my early years being Asian was an advantage to me because that was a time when casting was more concerned about hiring POC actors to be PC.
