Description
How often do you see a Black woman, a Darkskinned Black or Brown woman, or an Asian man portrayed as a love interest or as desirable in a film? Simu Liu, a Chinese actor, was denied the lead role in the film "Crazy Rich Asians", because he was told that he didn't have the "It" factor, despite his strong discography. The role instead went to the biracial actor Henry Golding. This is a pattern in Hollywood. Casting biracial or white-passing Black and Brown actors in mono-racial roles. This denies representation to others. Let's unpack.
