Don't let these non-anglo names scare you.
Learn to say them.
Don't group them together.
They are individuals.

Racism and misogyny are so deeply intertwined that they cannot be disentangled. We really can't talk about one without talking about the other.

Among that many accurate representations of real-life Asian Americans that #AlwaysBeMyMaybe absolutely nails, Loving Working-Class Asian Dad of a Certain Age With No Accent is one of the most heartwarming 💖

also I CANT TELL YOU HOW EXCITING IT IS TO SEE MY UNCLE BEING HIMSELF ON SCREEN! he always plays stoic characters/villains but to me he's always been larger than life prankster with a kind&giving heart. now everyone can see what we love about him in Harry Kim

Given that Lucy Liu is only the second Asian woman (after Anna May Wong) to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I did some digging. In 2011, of the 2,354 stars:
3.4% belong to Hispanics
5.1% belong to African-Americans
0.4% belong to Asians

“I said yes to the fear of being on this stage tonight because I wanted to be here and look out onto this audience and witness this moment of change. I’m not fooling myself. Next year could be different and probably will be. But right now, this moment is real." - Sandra Oh

As I celebrate/support this wk as the 1st major studio film to have an all AsianAm cast in 25 yrs, let’s also recognize that our community wasn’t dormant during that time. I wanna also celebrate the amazing progress that happened in those 25 yrs leading to now.

Happy #AsianAugust. If you want to see more inclusive movies of ANY KIND, it’s important to go see these movies in theaters on their opening weekend. Plus they are great!

I don't just want #CrazyRichAsians to do reasonably or respectably well. I want it to blow up the box office so hard, they'll make friggin' action figures of Rachel, Nick, Eleanor, Peik-Lin, Bernard and the rest, plus Jon M. Chu and Kevin Kwan.

Driving around LA seeing posters is giving me all sorts of feelings. If ur not AsianAm, can u imagine what it’s like to only see someone like you front & center on a billboard once every generation vs every other week? 😍👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼
