and asians, long underrepresented on the big screen, now have crazy rich asians, the first major asian led studio film in 25 years. so is the drought now over? we have such a treasure trove of interesting stories to be told with equally as powerful actors. and we look at the state of portrayals of native americans in hollywood cinema. why won't the old stereotypes fade away? nothing of any substances going to change until you have the native people writing the stories and directing them. plus a report on the new wave of black stories and black characters that have been moving into cinemas. stories and black characters that have been moving into cinemaslj think have been moving into cinemas.” think they're changing the equation because it made them see there was international value in black films. all that and more in this special hollywood and race addition of talking movies. leading african—american filmmaker spike lee is back this month with blackkklansman, a period film which relates very much to the present—day. this politically provocative picture has been getting excellent review

southeast asian refugees. 1970's andd in the --0's, some as late as than the 19th century. the migration of these refugees was a turning point in several different ways. in the 1970's, refugees were accepted for new reasons. time, the united states was not just accepting refugees because they opposed communism, the united states was excepting refugees on the basis of emergent humanitarian commitment to human rights. periodtwo, during this refugees were accepted and settled in a new way. we are talking about a huge refugee migration here. over one million southeast asian refugees came to the united states in the last couple decades of the 20th century. that refugee migration, and the amount of work it took to coordinate relief and resettlement efforts, both overseas and a must made government officials realize that they needed to have a more systematic and organized and permanent way to respond to refugee crises. it is impart because of southeast asian refugees in particular that we see the push for newthe legi

that tweeter are that videos that seek guards being the only dark skinned asian and then there are like you know i was kind of scared of them and i immediately cringed i thought oh my god this is this should be like because you know this is exactly what we're afraid of and i remember talking whispering it to people who have other asians who are if. you think about that you think that was racist and and people did it and yet we still supported the fellow so i think it's ok to feel mixed you know to feel all sorts of feelings right you're feeling joy you're feeling you're feeling sadness you're also feeling maybe. not being able to tell all the stories and especially being insensitive to some groups and i think i think it's it's really helping to be able to have all these conversations so that we can finally actually say what how do we want ourselves to be represented and in defense of the director there the guards the gurka guards were in the book and in fact there and stations and notes about the guards and provided history of why they wore what they wore and so you can include all of t

you know so historically asian americans have been under represented and yet asian americans are some of the highest internet streaming service users they also have been going to movies at higher rates than their population and so it's kind of crazy that hollywood hasn't capitalized on this and also the you know their interest in the asian market and asian americans are certainly really trying to to be able to bridge that to asia and be america and so i think that the success of this film allows for a whole new generation of asian american actors to then get roles to be able to launch their careers which does happen with your look like twenty five years ago we still see the daughters in playing big roles in hollywood like me and so i think that that's why this movie the success of this movie is so significant. kimberly. let me just show you a model who can be as if you're on twitter you will know who i am and i just go down here i just want to amaze people with what a tweet can do tweet thread here i did in twenty two thousand read tweets three hundred eighty five thousand likes and i

from crazy rich asians to crazy rich asian food. pick a country which has a cuisine that appeals to you. now, travel writers at lonely planet have compiled a list of the best 500 foodie experiences. three out of the top five come from asia, including malaysian curry, laksa soup in kuala lumpur, japanese sushi in tokyo, and thai som tum green papaya salad in bangkok. earlier i spoke to food writer evelyn chen and asked her what she made of the list. well, it is a fairly good list. very interesting, and asia is indeed coming out very strongly as a destination for food. however, coming out very strongly as a destination forfood. however, i wouldn't necessarily eat som tum destination forfood. however, i wouldn't necessarily eat som turn in bangkok or laksa in kuala lumpur, because we have very good laksa in singapore as well. chilli crab is in this list, in the top ten. singapore doesn't get enough credit for that, we do doesn't get enough credit for that, wedoa doesn't get enough credit for that, we do a really good job. so what is ab

we especially don't hear a lot about asian refugees. you might hear more about jewish refugees, but not that much about asian refugees. >> leave their own countries and settle somewhere else for a failure of government? >> absolutely. there is a forced migration that characterizes refugee migration, rather than immigrants who, as you point out, have more of a choice. >> i think with refugees, there is a connotation that when their home country -- when the turmoil stops, they would be ok to go back, versus an immigrant who came to this country by their own choice to build a new life. for refugee, the reason you would not welcome them in his warehousing them until they go back with an immigrant, that connotation is not there. >> the ability to be able to return to your home country, we have talked about how immigrants migrate to the united states or elsewhere then return home but refugees do not have that option. because they have been forced out, due to war, persecution, natural disaster, any number of reasons that make their life and th

token asian character there's a diversity of personalities there's a diversity of types of asians i mean it's much more true to what we see in the real world we're not all these nerdy sidekick whatevers we're a lot of different personalities and so seeing that kind of for the first time on screen was a very emotional thing for me and i think when we talk about representation there's this whole other side to it which is a little bit neglected which is you know why it actually matters and you know we say that representation matters but there are real world consequences and so you know for me and this is really the true story about the tweets is you know the reason why the whole thing was so. you know impact hole was because if you don't grow up with these stories and you're only references to your own race are these kind of racist incidents then then you do end up being kind of a self-hatred for your culture and i think that's a lot of the reason why it went viral is because a lot of people can relate to that. so we can claim that it's important for self it's important for self repres

accurate and we have a need for narrative plentitude the mirror he doesn't purport to represent all asians or even all people from singapore gossip girl t.v. show didn't represent all new yorkers the difference being the number of stories representing people so nancy when we talk about the number of stories i know that you've studied this you look back over the history of film in america what's your take on the. yeah absolutely we're at such a dearth of representation and i think for our for asian american actors who are studied this is a huge opening because usually you know you start off as a supporting role and then you build your resume up right i think with ghost in the shell when all the white washing people were saying oh we don't have a list actor and now we have two actors that are in the variety ten ten actors to watch anime golding and gemma chan and so that's huge right to be able to have these faces and to be able to have this again and this launching pad to be able to do so much more and so hopefully more projects will come up and that also hollywood will be like oh look asia
