[pann] THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA IS COMMITTING DISCR**ATION AGAINST ASIANS ALREADY
Korean women living in the US are expressing outrage in online communities
‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ features the beautiful Anne Hathaway as the lead white woman, while the supporting Chinese-American intern is an unattractive Asian (Helen J. Shen)
People are saying this is “intended to demean Asian women.”
And that the series ‘Gilmore Girls’ is also rac**t
The lead role is played by a beautiful white woman, while her friend is played by the unattractive Japanese-American actress Keiko Agena
Korean women who have immigrated to the US feel like it will only not be rac**t only if an Asian actress with white skin, a small face, big eyes, and a high nose is cast
– I immigrated to the US in my early 30s, and whenever I watch TV commercials or movies, Asian women are always in roles where they are short and ugly…. The same goes for Asian men… Even in current TV commercials, Asian women and men have an image of being short and ugly… Their roles are also images of serving food at parties, causing accidents, or making trouble…. They even made those roles in a style where the characters are short, ugly, wear glasses, and on top of that, aren’t from Yale and didn’t get a perfect ACT score, so they are flustered, thinking, “If you don’t like it, you can fire me.”… As for Asian women, they have to be short and ugly and at least have gone to Yale just to barely be included among us….
– ㅎㅎ I don’t think I’ve seen an Asian actor who is that short and looks that strange recently. The director is definitely a rac**t
– It’s funny how some people try to rationalize that in Hollywood, such Asian actors are considered beautiful, and Westerners find Asian women who look like that more attractive than Jun Jihyun or Go Younjung ㅋㅋ Mostly people who have not been in the US for long and look like that themselves
– She looks like that Asian girl who is the daughter’s friend from Gilmore Girls ㅠ.ㅠ And that drama was from so long ago ㅠ.ㅠ
– I just looked at it and you’re right
– I remember being baffled by how they made the life of that Asian best friend in Gilmore Girls so ridiculous compared to Rory’s
– That Asian was so baffling in Gilmore Girls ㅜㅜ

I’m not sure if it was meant to be derogatory, but it’s 100% stereotypical casting

It’s been like this for a long time ㅋㅋ They care about the Asian pie, so they do cast them, but they rarely use good-looking, model-like guys and girls… They use Asians for roles where they are supposed to be ridiculed

Just from naming her Chin Chou….

I also thought about it with Harry Potter’s Cho Chang… The casting was so disappointing..

You’re downplaying it as if only Koreans are making a fuss. The uproar started biggest in China because of the character names, and then it spread to Korea and Japan
