Actress Chloe Bennet, known for her role as Daisy Johnson in the hit Marvel TV show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., blasted Hollywood for being racist, citing that her career took off after she changed her last name from "Wang" to "Bennet."

In an Instagram post, Bennet praised actor Ed Skrein for pulling out of the production for the film Hellboy in fear of whitewashing an Asian character, which he was previously unaware when he accepted the role. Bennet, who is Chinese American, took to Instagram to share her thoughts. When asked by a fan, however, why she changed her last name, Bennet responded immediately and quite candidly.

"Changing my last name doesn’t change the fact that my BLOOD is half Chinese, that I lived in China, speak Mandarin or that I was culturally raised both American and Chinese," Bennet wrote. "It means I had to pay my rent, and Hollywood is racist and wouldn’t cast me with a last name that made them uncomfortable."

She continued. "I’m doing everything I can, with the platform I have, to make sure no one has to change their name again, just so they can get work."

Hollywood, which is widely known as politically liberal, came out stronger than ever against Donald Trump during the presidential election in favor of Hillary Clinton. Many actors, actresses, and directors accused Trump of being a racist xenophobe who wants to ban all Muslims and deport Hispanics. However, many have been mute to the racist practices that they participate in.

Matt Damon, who's been vocal against Trump, was criticized for his role in the movie The Great Wall for being a white actor in an Asian setting. Emma Stone was criticized for her role as a Native Hawaiian in the film Aloha. And just in the last year, Scarlett Johannson was at the center of controversy for being a white protagonist in a live-action Japanese anime movie, Ghost in the Shell.

In her praise of Skrein, Bennet wrote, "There is no way this decision came lightly on your part, so thank you for your bravery and genuinely impactful step forward. I hope this inspires other actors/film makers to do the same."
