I think the answer is more shit with brown people getting green light not just the ones with the dude has a white woman as his love interests because american audiences can relate or some "marketing" excuse
This is a gross opinion, no matter the identity and background of the person holding it.
There's good points in that article, but using a movie that's written by an interracial couple based on their personal love story is kind of a gross jumping off point for the conversation.
We need more black women scoring Asian men. Jet Li was robbed.
Brown girls don't like me and idk why
I matched with ONE cute brown girl on bumble and she never messaged me, other brown girls usually say hi then just ghost. Shits whack
idk but most brown girls I know go for white guys and it's annoying af
Because of this I have adapted and latinas, southeast/east asian, and black girls have been the go to for me
I lowkey can't trust white people after Trump
I honestly do not know what to make of the fact people of color are often paired off with white love interests especially when they're the lead. Why?
No, I've always seen the opposite and rarely non-white men with white women. Of course the racist narcissist author is silent on that.
But women of color have always been desired in film. It's men of color -- primarily Asian men -- that are underrepresented as romantic interests.

while brown women are portrayed alternately as caricatures, stereotypes, inconsequential, and/or the butts of a joke

Clearly, the solution is to have more situations like Harold Lee tracking down Maria Quesadilla.

Jet Li, "As regarding the kiss or no kiss situation in RMD, actually it is not as complicated as people have been suggesting. It was not really a race issue, or a Hollywood issue. Rather, regarding the kiss that was supposed to happen between Han and Trish at that end scene, the truth was, we shot it both ways. One with the kiss, and one without the kiss but the hug instead.
Why did we finally decide not to use the kiss? Well, afterward the entire film was put together, with all the drama and tension in that last scene with Han's father, we thought it might be somewhat strange and awkward for Han to have just witnessed Chou's suicide, then to come out and kiss Trish. Thus it was decided that Han should take it slowly with Trish ... do a hug first and maybe leading into a "real" relationship later. So it was not really a decision by the powers that be to prevent an inter-racial relationship from happening on screen. It just did not feel right for that moment."
LOL Nowhere near the other depictions. So much so that I'd doubt it'd ever be called out.
That's one hot Quesadilla.
I think Will Smith used to say that executives thought if both characters were black then it would be considered a black movie and therefore less profitable.
Sure, but there is a stark difference between an interracial couple writing about their love story and one being concocted by someone. I don't think it's fair to put them under the same banner even if it's technically part of a larger trend.Shes using this movie while pointing out a bigger trend. Like some exec read the screen play of this film and decided it should be greenlight

I think her point is salient but using an autobiographical movie for it is kind of a dead end. What was he supposed to do, not write about his life?
I don't think it's up to you to determine when someone feels marginalized or stereotyped. The issue with on screen couples being segregated by race is a general one and usually not a matter of specific couples. Seeing the two minorities of the same race continually get together over and over and over seemingly solely because they happen to have the same ethnic background is a subtle but real problem. In general, more interracial couple representation would help combat the stereotypes of ethnic segregation.
I hardly see non-white male characters hook up with a white female character so it's not something that's so common it's become tiring to watch. I'd love to see more of it.
But since the movie is based on someone's life it cripples her argument.

I get where she's coming, but it's pretty goddamn embarrassing to use a biopic of a couple that got married IRL for your argument.

Have you ever had a kimchi quesadilla? Shit is bomb, yo
They are?
WTF where do you live?

The article is also a low key criticism for his (and others like him) choices IRL.
some exec saw the movie as opportunity and green light the shit out of it though. I really don't see how it betrays her argument to use this movie as an example where shes talking about a trends.
