Simu Liu slams HuffPost for calling him a thirst trap and token Asian actor

Liu took offence to the suggestion that he was hired as the"token" Asian actor in the highly anticipated film."Way to attempt to pit us against one another. What 'bulk' of roles are you referring to? Are there movies I'm in that I'm not aware of? Do you really think that there is a quota of 'Asian male roles' that is a zero-sum game?" wrote Liu.

"Everything I have taken post Shang-Chi was not written Asian. We've been able to reshape stories to get more representation onscreen. Get your facts straight," said Liu. "Lol when I saw this a couple weeks ago I was like, 'wtf you don't have to bring others down to bring others up,'" added another fan.hosting the Juno Awards"Maybe his Ken role wasn't written as Asian, but Simu just did the best out of those who auditioned?" reads one comment."They're not wrong. We should have more Asian actors AND roles in Hollywood," they said.
