Day 1: #asianpridechallenge: Fresh Off The Boar star: @wonstancecoo is my current hero. Fusion did a study that (surprise) Asian-Americans are severely underrepresented on TV. Out of 100 network TV shows, only 37.9% had at least one cast member of Asian descent, and only 7.8% of those shows had multiple main cast members of Asian descent. And out of 800 main cast members on 100 network TV shows, only 52 (6.5%) were of Asian descent. --- @wonstancecoo said in an interview "[Diversity] doesn’t mean we want the white people to write Asian stories. What I want is to foster the Asian-American writers and directors and producers and actors…foster their stories to come into the spotlight a little bit. I want to support uniquely Asian-American stories. I don’t want to just play the hostage in some big studio movie. If I get that, that’s great. But if it coincides with an opportunity about the Asian-American experience that pays me, like, a quarter of the salary, I’d rather do that." ... I salute you Ms Wu. Happy #asianheritagemonth
