"Being Asian in this business is something you have to consider, because sometimes people aren't as open. They'll say, I can't see you with a Caucasian person"

About this Quote

This quote by Lucy Liu speaks with the obstacles of being an Asian star in the entertainment industry. It recommends that there is a lack of openness and approval of Asian actors in certain functions, particularly when it comes to being coupled with a Caucasian actor. This might be due to a range of factors, such as an absence of representation in the industry, or an absence of understanding of Asian culture. It is clear that there is still a long way to enter terms of producing a more inclusive and diverse show business. However, Lucy Liu's quote functions as a suggestion that Asian actors need to not be discouraged by the absence of chances, but rather need to continue to strive for higher representation and acceptance.
