Kung Fu cast and crew are using their platform to denounce anti-Asian hate crimes

Variety

The CW series' cast and crew held a virtual panel this morning, one day after a man killed eight people, including six Asians, at three massage parlors. "What happened last night in Atlanta with eight people killed breaks my heart," said Kung Fu star Tzi Ma. "I’m not quite sure what the short-term fix is. I believe we are the long-term solution: to do our show, to show the world who we are, and hopefully those messages will come out loud and clear about representation, about inclusion. Those are part of our long-term goals." Olivia Liang added: "So much about representation and inclusion is not so much that we as Asians need to see ourselves represented on the screens, but we need to be invited into people’s homes who don’t see us in everyday lives, just to humanize us, normalize seeing us, remind them that we are just like they are and have a place in this world. And hopefully having our show in their homes will expand that worldview for them."
