I thought Black Panther proved this. Or was it Parasite? Or was it Fast & the Furious? Or any number of projects. Headlines like this make it seem like the tv/film industry don't already know this. They do. They just don't always care.

I don’t think folks out there understand what a difference it makes seeing people try to pronounce Korean names that include syllables like 동(‘Dong’) without them laughing or making a joke about it. It was truly dehumanizing and so hurtful when they did, and it was ALL the time.
