To me, the establishment was white with Christian morales. I found commonality in people who are different and music that's different, and most hiphop at that time was portraying rebellion against the establishment. I could never truly be in the "in crowd". ![]() I felt exactly as the series describe, it's not that the white folks were disrespectful to me (in fact there where at the beginning), but they just don't know what to do with a person of different race and culture. PE and Ice Cube and Ice T were my favorite groups. My first album was Straight Outta Compton. ![]() From the very first episode to episode 8. In the school, there were 3 asians, and 1 black kid.

Sometimes a stranger, a newcomer, sees people more clearly than they are willing to see themselves. The grandmother character is like many grandmothers with a foreign background she may be equal parts traditionalist and "ready for anything" - she seems to enjoy the oldest boy's taste in music more than anyone else does. Their three boys in the show are funny, and smart which is quite refreshing compared to other kid characters on television. Jessica is a well-written character performed brilliantly by Constance Wu. As demanding as she can be, her mind is open and she shows great empathy and compassion when it makes sense. She makes changes at the family's restaurant, she makes sure the children study hard, and she makes an effort to get to know the neighbors all of which is shown in smart and funny ways. Her character - Jessica Huang - makes sure things get done. Constance Wu is spectacular! She is the most beautiful woman on television.

Randall Park is terrific as Louis Huang the optimistic - perhaps a bit naive - patriarch of the family that has just moved to Orlando from Washington D.C. I hope the creative team behind it, and the wonderful actors can maintain this high-level of quality.

Wu spoke about the controversy surrounding her tweets that bemoaned the show’s renewal during her presentation. It was the only show on network television in over 20 years to star Asian Americans, and I did not want to sully the reputation of the one show we had representing us,” she said. That show was historic for Asian Americans. “I eventually realized it was important to talk about. I don’t have to stain the reputation of the show,’” she said.Ĭonstance Wu alleges that the producer routinely asked her for images late at night and made crude jokes or comments that she would brush off. I don’t have to stain this Asian American producer’s reputation. And, so I thought: ‘You know what? I handled it. Because, after the first two seasons, once it was a success, once I was no longer scared of losing my job, that’s when I was able to start saying ‘no’ to the harassment, ‘no’ to the intimidation, from this particular producer. The Crazy Rich Asians actress then added, “I kept my mouth shut for a really long time about a lot of s*xual harassment and intimidation that I received the first two seasons of the show.
