Never Have I Ever Doesn't Depict a Multiracial Utopia - It Was Really My Adolescence

Growing up Asian American, I didn't harbor high hopes for representation on television. As a child who voraciously consumed TV in the aughts, I more often identified with Rory Gilmore and Willow Rosenberg than the one or two characters of color on Gilmore Girls and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My expectations for representation didn't skyrocket when Asians got more roles. I was happy to see Asians book jobs, even if their stories weren't my own. This attitude, however, dramatically shifted when I watched Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher's truly excellent Never Have I Ever. My takeaway from a bliss...

Hollywood: How Anna May Wong's Portrayal Made Me Appreciate Representation

Watching Netflix's Hollywood, I felt surprised to see Michelle Krusiec pop up on screen in episode two. Who was this glamorous, angsty woman in gorgeous cat-eye sunglasses and a flouncy purple dress? Her presence caught me off guard - I wasn't used to seeing an Asian woman on modern American TV, let alone an Asian woman on a show about the 1940s. On top of that, it was rare to witness an Asian woman speak candidly, almost bitterly, about her frustrations, as Krusiec does with Darren Criss, who plays Raymond Ainsley. I soon pieced together that Krusiec was portraying Anna May Wong, one of th...
