Oh, Fantastic ! You covered it all for me.
So I’m being paranoid, basically. And racist too I guess. But seriously - how is this hollywood nobody making headlines ?
“Oh, Fantastic ! You covered it all for me.”
That wouldn’t be too hard.
“So I’m being paranoid, basically.”
Maybe. I don’t know.
“And racist too I guess.”
Being ignorant about an actress being of Vietnamese extraction rather than Chinese doesn’t make you racist - since they’re the same race. They’re different nationalities, but the same race.
“But seriously - how is this hollywood nobody making headlines ?”
Two reasons: 1) Genuine interest (she’s in Star Wars for crying out loud), 2) It’s engineered. Hollywood PR people are all over this story to help boost Star Wars in its premier, promote “diversity”, make themselves feel better, etc. And I’m sure they are trying to look better to Asian audiences across the board as well since this woman is the first significant Asian character in the numbered series. They already included Jet Li and Wen Jiang in Rogue One.
