folks asking me why i wanna tear down mulan when the cast is all asian, and i don& #39;t know who needs to hear this, but representation alone isn& #39;t gonna save us. did you not listen to john boyega at all this week about disney and how tokenizing their views of race are

reminder that john wasn& #39;t just talking about himself, he explicitly named kelly marie tran as being treated this way by disney as well. more asians on the screen doesn& #39;t mean a damn thing when it& #39;s either "this is an all-asian movie" or we get the rose tico treatment

all of this doesn& #39;t mean anything if nothing& #39;s changed with the people in charge. we& #39;re so easily sold on a film when the cast is all asian that we ignore the white director saying an asian director couldn& #39;t make this film as well as her. that we ignore how racist disney has been

also, imo, it& #39;s not a win for asian representation if the only time we get asian characters with dialogue and storylines is when everyone in the movie is asian, we don& #39;t only exist in an asian-only realm separated from the rest of the world, send tweet
