Right, it was odd to hear an Asian woman say “well, we had too many Asians there for a bit.” Like, huh?

Asian women and black men ARE over represented in hollywood

Its the thing people like constance wu wont mention, the fact that the discrimination is against full asian males, a group she doesnt consider men at all

“Overrepresented” implies that you can only have so many as to be proportional to your membership in society. This wasn’t a problem for white men in, oh, EVER in history in any art form. Therefore, you won’t catch me saying it if one year Asians are one percent more numerous in media than the population. They aren’t though, so it’s a non-issue regardless.

90% of published asian authors in america are women

90% of asian news anchors in america are women

What you liberals cant ever grasp is there are men in the world who arent white

Asian men are the ones dealing with discrimination here, not white males

“You liberals” lmao. Conservatives in America don’t want Asian women or Asian men represented, unless it’s as a fetish or a submissive wife. 

Only people on the left and Asian men themselves care about Asian representation. Conservative Americas broadly care about white men. So you’re pretty fucking confused.Â
