“We’re so serious on the court, everything we do off the court is just the dumbest thing you could imagine. I gotta walk away sometimes when we have conversations because i just shake my head and say ‘man i don’t know what makes you think this-’ his philosophy on things is just on a different planet.” [DeMar DeRozan]

DeMar: “It was preseason, right? It was 3:30 in the morning, we walk to McDonald’s to get a McFlurry. It was closed so we had to go through the Drive and knock on the window.“ Kyle: “They wouldn’t serve us cause we didn’t have a car, so we asked the guy on the motorcycle to order for us.”

Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

     I know there’s a lot of people wondering why Asian-Americans are so excited for this movie when there’s a myriad variety of Korean/Chinese dramas and movies already existing. But the thing is, Asians and Asian-Americans are two vastly different populations with incredibly different cultures. Asians, people who live/grew up in Asia, have no problem finding representations of themselves in the media, whereas Asian-Americans see little to no representation of ourselves in American/Western media, our own countries. Asian-Americans have gravitated to Asian medias like anime, dramas, and kpop because, growing up, those were the only outlets we had seeing people who look like us being main characters in lead roles and music groups. It is part of our background, but it is still not quite us. The difference is that Asian-Americans grew up starved for true representation of themselves reflecting in the medias of their birth country. 

Instead, we grew up watching crude caricatures of ourselves, if we were ever reflected in Western media at all. They were roles written by people who didn’t and will never know what it’s like to be Asian or a POC. They were roles that lacked depth, creativity, and accuracy; simply existing to support a white lead character or to feign diversity. 

When it comes to whitewashing roles, Asians, like the Japanese, tend to be more okay with cultural appropriation, like white people playing Asian roles, because they are represented in their country’s media all the time, so appropriation doesn’t seem as much of a big deal to them. However, Asian-Americans don’t have this same luxury. What we get at best is a quirky side character every once in while who has to exhibit some form of tired stereotype. I can’t stress how incredibly unfair it is to be mocked for liking Asian stuff growing up (like anime etc.) and then as soon as it trends worldwide and is profitable, Western medias find a way to stick a white lead actor/actress into its remake somehow, when it would have been a clear opportunity for an Asian-American actor/actress to shine and represent the culture they came from. That is the reason why we want this, why we need more movies like this. I know that this movie has its flaws. Its representation does not reach the spectrum of diversity displayed in the book, but it’s a start. It’s a start we can build on and, therefore, a huge win for Asian representation in America and other Western countries!
