So many layers...just what would be wrong with a Chinese American bodyguard? Yes. David is Korean American. Yes. It is racist to not get his ethnicity right and to assume all Asians are Chinese. But also racist to not address these statements with all AAPI are American. 1/ https://twitter.com/alistaircoleman/status/1352692299017424900

Instead of listing his achievements to justify his role. It’s great David has all of these achievements and is by all means incredible. But he shouldn’t have to be, to be seen as American. Asian Americans often are told or made to have to prove somehow that we are American. 2/

When are we American enough? The model minority myth and the perpetual foreigner stereotype are both being used here at the same time and should be called out for what it is. This is racism. 3/end
