Lucy Liu Instagram – James Hong’s career, spanning over seven decades, is a triumph over the systemic racism and discrimination that pervaded Hollywood for much of his life. Born in 1929, when radio was the only source of entertainment, he came of age at a time when Asian Americans faced blatant exclusion and prejudice. From the era of yellowface to the limitations placed on roles for Asian actors, he navigated a landscape marred by stereotypes and injustice with remarkable grace and fortitude. He defied the odds, in an industry dominated by homogeneity.
Congratulations James, on having your foot and handprints immortalized at the Chinese Theatre – a well earned recognition in history. Filled with pride to be there for this important moment! | Posted on 24/Feb/2024 01:17:43
