I am African and seeing Asians in the mainstream media. YAASSSS!! I am beyond happy, like diversity is fresh of breath air.

[@thecyberninja2708]

Mademoiselle De La foret you know im african too but lets be honest asian people dont care about black people its sad how we as black people support other races but noone supports us its the harsh truth

Asian Americans come out of the screenings and they're crying and they don't know exactly why. I think it's the POWER of Representation ❤

[@bitchenglish9095]

Duh, one big duh! You are such a drama queen.

[@veriveryluvr]

Aishwarya Net ?

[@aileenluo9508]

I think it's because careers that like are frowned upon by most Asian parents so don't just assume stuff...

[@TehLemonsRUs]

Czo Lish Well to be honest most of the people who are praising this movie are Chinese and the cast is Chinese/Singaporean. Korean Americans probably could care less about this movie, and most Asians don't need a stupid movie to make them feel like they belong because chances are they probably accepted the fact that that is apart of who they are and moved on to do things that inspire them like every other human being should. This movie is a pretty dumb step forward imo.

I am African American and I cried for the same reason when I saw it. I love to see everyone represented on screen. And it was a great movie!

[@ayumitokunaga5589]

As an Asian I felt exacted the same thing on Black panther.

[@ediypzy]

Asians have been so erased and ignored from mainstream media and pop culture. This is a small important step 🙂

[@AznPandaFTW]

King Beef Lol stop, those are heavily influenced by western culture

[@Vilppy]

Asians only make 5% of the population in the US, that might have something to do with it too

[@theonlyone261]

King Beef you just named all non-american cultural entities. Congrats you proved their point.

[@beefknuckles]

@Lo C Keep living in a fantasy world. Italians are just "white" and white people make up the majority of the population in the US. Let's take a look at other races the largest Asian demographic, the Chinese market: Disney has to constantly make Finn as small as humanly possible on Star Wars posters because of pervasive racism against black people in Asia. Fix your own continent first and then you can complain about America. You're just getting in victim mode like a lot of other people in the US right now.

[@beefknuckles]

Lo C ok I got what you're saying. I just think it's overblown. But I live in an Asian majority area of the US so I probably just don't see it. But anyway thanks for your perspective, have a good day

[@ariananavarro1436]

She'd be a good oitnb cast member.

[@raemontargaryen3005]

the fact that her hip hop name is “Awkwafina” and now voicing an awkward self deprecating Water Dragon who have skills that kills. 🤣🤣🤣 its just fits perfectly

[@suryshoonteith915]

Anyone here after Raya and the last dragon?? I didn't check the cast when i started watching the movie. But soon as heard her voice, i recognized it instantly. It's so unique.

How about Eveeyan

[@seattlepainter]

I just watched Awkwafina in "The Farewell." What a wonderful movie and she did a fantastic job in it. She is such an amazing talent and if you haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend it!

[@dalt3533]

The fact that this girl is Asian, naturally hilarious and charming and can absolutely see her as a stand up comedian (she is actually funny without trying too hard) is just amazing. So great to see Asians are now paving a way into the Hollywood movie scenes!

[@richardc020]

She is too awesome, I have total admiration for her everything: personality, courage, principle, art & craft, intellect, talent, heart. Never stop being you.

[@xuzix]

i’ve been a fan of her music and comedy for like 5 years now so seeing her finally get recognition and acting jobs makes me smile so big

[@lis4394]

I’m Singaporean and when I went to watch this in the cinema, I had no idea what it was about. I just went to see it cus my friends invited me. And when I saw that it was based in Singapore, I did a double take cus I have never seen a movie based here. I came out of the theatre so happy just because I saw representation and made me believe that my dream of becoming an actress can actually come true 😊😊😊

[@nuxges8409]

ik this is like 7months late but like i feel the same way hehe, i’m sure she said Kuala Lumpur, a place in Malaysia! i’m Malaysian and i’m so happy it was being filmed there.

[@karimsonglin8841]

but the movie was quite disappointing don't you think? I can't see any representation of Singapore in this movie. I was expecting Singaporean accents but the actors didn't even try (except for some random aunties). the storyline was so predictable and with so much stereotype. It's not even a good popcorn-movie.

[@jxxnmatt2065]

"That's not ACTING...that's YOU!"... Gotta love Grandma! And you don't argue or debate with Grandma...precious!

[@toneriggz]

She has come a long way since Bad Rap. I remember seeing her live in my neighborhood a few years ago, now she's making big budget movies. Congrats to her.

[@tetsuyahayami7519]

We need more Asians in the mainstream!

[@TheKyleAye]

*Asian Americans

[@jamesscarborough6038]

We have The Meg, Crazy Rich Asians, and Mile 22 all coming out this week and all feauturing one or more Asian leads, plus the live action Mulan is coming up and that´s bound to be a hit, the tide is turning and more representation is coming. How about we celebrate the projects we´re currently getting instead of pleading for more.

[@higeorge4060]

its my time then....

[@yrugeh]

yes! not only CHINESE. Asians!

[@epicwolf]

We dont need Asians in mainstream america. We need more Asian Americans. There is a difference

[@jtown4187]

It's about time Asians are recognized and seen on the big screen in Hollywood because they all are great actors too. Looking forward to the showing of this movie here in Thailand.

[@St4rTr3v1Ut10n]

I guess Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a figment of my imagination then? Bruce Lee too? Jackie Chan?

[@judithsng589]

St4rTr3v1Ut10n those movies only features the chinese martial arts stuff. Hollywood has never really portrayed Asians as people who can be taken seriously. So this is one of the many movies to come (I'm pretty sure Asians are better represented in tv shows than movies).

[@jenster29]

So there are no Asians on the big screen in THAILAND? how does that work?

[@jtown4187]

What what?? penelope pittstop And can I presume you have never been outside of where you are from, coz this movie represent Asian Americans who speaks English, Thai movies speaks Thai and I am not Thai and to inform you Asians speak different languages because it is compose of different countries not just one. And this movie represents most Asian cultures which are almost similar. Go watch it and enjoy.

[@da96103]

Not a great interview by Jimmy. He was too stifling and did not given Awkwafina the space to manoeuvre.

[@mbvsr]

That's what I'm thinking

[@bl6516]

We still need more Asian representation in Hollywood! Excited to see the film.

[@jamesscarborough6038]

We have The Meg, Crazy Rich Asians, and Mile 22 all coming out this week and all feauturing one or more Asian leads, plus the live action Mulan is coming up and that´s bound to be a hit, the tide is turning and more representation is coming.

[@MonumentToSin]

Make sure to support the movie then! Watch it once, twice, even three times! The Hollywood analysts have been saying that they don't think this movie will make that much money... we must prove them wrong if we want Hollywood to make more Asian-centric movies.

[@user-qq8tp9cn9p]

You know Japan, Korea, China ect. all make movies right?

[@moonwolf9870]

we're asking for mainstream films that are marketed globally rather than locally ... films with asians that arent just for asians because god knows as a korean-american the only films i saw growing up were films with actors and actresses that did not look like me. we just want representation is that too much to ask for?

[@retroastronaut1000]

[@raesosa1108]

I mean she is asian, he ofc had to check if the family was okay with her life choices.. #askanasian

[@Danielle-to4ke]

It’s because she’s young not because she’s asian. It’s a go to question every talk show host asks a young first time guest.

[@mongolchiuud8931]

Danielle L show us at least one interview of a young non Asian being ask that question....hehe good luck

[@mongolchiuud8931]

Danielle L no reply? That's what I thought. Troll exposed!

[@victoriagiro737]

Raghu Seetharaman when Conan interviewed Adam DeVine he asked him the same questions. I'm all against stereotyping, but it really is a go to question. Maybe he took it too far by saying "so they didn't kick you out of the house?" Like he assumes they won't approve, usually they ask white actors if it's just weird for their famies. So I think it's a bit of a reach and not intentional with maybe a shadow of truth.

[@mongolchiuud8931]

Been following her for a VERY long time and it’s so great to see her coming up! Get it girl!

[@legoproductions12341]

Why do all talk show host always ask Asian-American actors about their family? I've heard the family question on EVERY talk show when it is an Asian person being interviewed.

[@flightisallright]

In this case I can understand it because she isn't widely known yet and young. However, bringing up the parents of someone like Lucy Liu is weird at this point in her career.

[@legoproductions12341]

Right? Even with Steven Yeun on Conan or John Cho on James Corden, they still ask that question.

[@a.sharma5562]

Natural curiosity about a culture he knows little about . . .

I'm watching Awkwafina for the very first time. I start chuckling at the fun repartee between her and Kimmel. Then at the end Awkwafina says THAT FINAL SENTENCE that BLOWS UP MY MIND: "I think it's the power of REPRESENTATION" and my heart bursts with emotion as tears come to my eyes. Thank you Awkwafina from a human of Asian ancestry.

[@LucasPenido]

She's dope! She's so quick with her thoughts and her comic timing is perfect! Great interview!

[@ahhwe-any7434]

Christopher Aparicio my Asian principal used to chase me down w/ that book. I thought she was embarrassing but deep down cute. She made me think of my mom but the way nicer version.

I seriously don't understand why there is so much hateful comments. It's just a film about Asians being themselves that happened to have english American dialogue. There is 1000000s of films made in China and Japan Korea etc for the last 100years. Relax. America is not the world

[@samshah7628]

SAMELINE FRIENDS Bollywood, the Indian entertainment industry produce more movies than Hollywood in a year. most Asian countries do produce their own dramas & movies in their own language

[@King_SPL]

America IS the world. Or more specifically, Hollywood is the world. Hollywood has more influence on the world than any other movie making group in the world, and yes, that includes OUTSIDE of America. So, Hollywood needs to be more careful about what they release. For example, when they promote negative Asian stereotypes, the rest of the world (excluding Asia obviously) begins to believe those stereotypes (because most of the world on average has lower IQs and are uneducated).

[@blueroom3523]

Your “America is not the world” is lost on many people.

[@GenXsinglefree]

Hollywood has the resources to promote globally. However, other nations have thriving entertainment industries that have particularly in the last decade expanded globally. Hollywood is still King with blockbusters. I prefer foreign films and tv. I started watching British shows and films in the 90's. Love the Chinese films that feature life in the countryside. You must include Bollywood in your repertoire. Lately, I have been enjoying serial crime dramas from the Scandinavian countries. Over the years, I have enjoyed movies and television from Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Russia, and Turkey. Only us Americans think all things US are the best and we are the center of the world. It's a failure of our education system, public and private. I know because I retired from education. As to your comment about IQ's and the uneducated, education enhances intelligence. Being uneducated doesn't mean a person isn't intelligent. Also, there is formal and informal education. In a long blackout scenario, whom do want in your group, the rich person with the business degree who never cooked or cleaned or planted a seed; or the person who barely finished HS and can fish, hunt, plant and harvest?
