desidere:

atla-annotated:

so not ONLY did they choose a white woman over the more obvious choices like oh I DON’T KNOW Anna May Wong

or Shangguan Yunzhu 上官云珠

OR Ruan Lingyu 阮玲玉

I DON’T KNOW JUST ABOUT ANYONE FROM THE 20’S - 30’S WHO WAS ACTUALLY AN ASIAN ACTRESS

BUT THEY CHOOSE A WHITE WOMAN FROM THE 40’S

haha it’s not like asian actors and actresses and other poc have never had to make themselves look more white in order to get work or anything right guys
