A well-cited, academic read on how whitewashing in Hollywood affects Asian American representation in film and upholds white supremacy. 

More than once, I found myself having a real lightbulb moment. From small, now obvious, things like how white people who move to Asian countries are considered "expats" whilst Asian people who move to white dominate societies are considered "immigrants" to showing how postracism and "colour-blindness" reinforce white supremacy in films by disproportionately favouring white actors and white roles, Oh's insights had me re-evaluating my own biases and I now feel more capable of viewing future films with a more critical eye in regards to their treatment, or mistreatment, of race.
