In tonight's episode, we discuss Asian Actors and Directors in Hollywood. First, we take a look at some Diversity and Inclusion reports by UCLA and USC Annenberg to see how those of Asian Descent are fairing throughout films and the Hollywood landscape. Next, we talk about the #OscarsSoWhite movement and how that directly applies to Asians. For our independent research of the episode, Destinee goes into Asian directors and their experiences in Hollywood while Morgan goes into Asian actors and their experiences. We end the episode by having a candid conversation about our thought on Hollywood’s casting of Asian actors and what that means as far as representation for audiences of all ethnicities.
