Episode 4: Nancy Yuen on Asian American Representation in Entertainment
Manage episode 328076174 series 3347923
What would real and just cultural representation of Asian Americans in entertainment look like? And why should Asian American Christians care about cultural representation, anyways? Raymond Chang and Michelle Reyes sit down with Nancy Yuen and talk about movies like Crazy Rich Asians, Parasite, and Never Have I Ever, the idea of an Asian Bechdel test, and the riches and strengths of Asian Americans within the space of entertainment. It’s a fun and educational talk about the movies we watch and how we can be a force to shape a more just Hollywood.
