breh, i was watching a Netflix show called Arcane. The first time i saw this chick..
I knew she would be wenching

It's that predictable
I use to watch a lot of Hong Kong martial arts films, and every big name Asian actress who transitioned to Hollywood always was paired with a white savior/lover.
Example
(Not saying she’s a big name Hong Kong actress btw)
I don’t think people payed attention to it because of skin contrast, but it’s pretty much a staple in every commercial or movie with Asian, Hispanic, and black women. The first time I really noticed it in our community was when Aaliyah starred in Queen of the damned and was getting smutted out on screen . If you point it out though, the entire conversation usually gets whittled down to, well, you’re just hating, but we all know that this is designed to project superiority
A lot of people who watch these films are just content with seeing a reflection of their own image, so there’s no real discernment on how that image is portrayed, the impact on the collective, or the message that’s being sent
