it is striking to see the difference in representation of Asian men in American vs Chinese media, the guys are so fucking hot in Chinese tv shows, Wong kar wai films etc, vs ‘weird funny short man’ roles, it makes you think what image we are fed as Asian American women

Simu Liu is a tall, attractive Asian man and cast in leading roles in American media, no? Obviously there's a long way to go but that's some recent progress?

Hmm.. will the timetable for quality AM rep in blockbusters will be dictated by Hollywood going forward? Talented Asians should not be under the delusion that 40%+ of the world pop w/growing purchasing power is going to let others dictate how they're seen. Best get to creating :)
