I'm really concerned that Ant Man & The Wasp failed to capture the diversity of the White experience.
To be clear: Hollywood needs to have more stories to reflect our diverse experiences. #CrazyRichAsians stays ON THEME. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I personally have not and will NEVER say #CrazyRichAsians is "progressive." That's why when folks were saying it was "our Black Panther" I got fired up.
Hollywood is SO behind SO fucking behind, a Mostly Light-Skinned, extra Chinesey, wealth fantasy about the 1% of Asia is considered GROUND-BREAKING. So in that context it is. But we have SUCH a long way to go it is truly the work of our lifetimes. #CrazyRichAsians
We can love, support AND criticize something at the same time.

#CrazyRichAsians is ground-breaking for representation in Hollywood. FACT.

"Asians" does not mean ALL Asians. FACT.

The movie does not cover the often oppressed brown & non-Chinese people of Singapore. FACT.
Someday I want a world where a Hollywood blockbuster could be made about a woman like Filipina-American historian and activist #DawnMabalon. #FierceAcademicAsians #CrazyRichAsians

RIP #dawnmabalonisintheheart usa.inquirer.net/14714/fil-hist…
Someday I want a Hollywood blockbuster made about my uber-talent homie @dlocokid as a queer, trans, Tamil Sri Lankan man trying to make it in this world.

Insects get more representation in Hollywood than Asian Americans (and many other humans). FACT.
#CrazyRichAsians
HOLLYWOOD: "Insects are just so RELATABLE. Real feel-good movie material."

So you've admitted to sexually assaulting comedians in a work culture where fellow people of power took actions to keep the victims not working and quiet about the offenses so that you could make millions and keep working. HOW DO YOU ATONE FOR YOUR SINS? A THREAD OF SOLUTIONS.
Atoning for Sexual Assault in Comedy Idea #1: Privately apologize to each of your victims.
Atoning for Sexual Assault in Comedy Idea #2: Write letters and make phone calls to all of the comedy club bookers, hosts, waiters, agents, managers, tour managers, and fellow comedians who protected you to apologize to the survivors.
