00:00I definitely was going out for more auditions that were, you know, the best friend or the
00:06assistant.
00:07A lot of other minority actors have told me, like, oh, this so rings a bell, like when
00:12you go into an audition room and you see a bunch of people that look like you and you
00:15just start feeling like, oh, I'm not here for me.
00:19Yeah, I'm here because I fit what looks like the person you want.
00:22One, why is every Arab person a terrorist?
00:26First of all.
00:26And second of all, just because I'm brown, why am I a terrorist?
00:30Women, especially young women, especially young women of color, want to see someone on
00:34the TV who is not playing a terrorist or someone in IT, but is someone good who makes good decisions
00:41and is a good mother and wife and girlfriend and teacher and leader.
00:45It's not as though there's so much Asian representation that we can spare those parts.
00:50I'm really hoping that Hollywood is listening and realizing that we aren't the timid
00:56Asian Americans anymore.
00:59Asian Americans anymore.
00:59Asian Americans anymore.
