I think her stance on Asian American representation in film was pretty impactful at the time and still reverberates today.. See- Yellow Peril

That’s a rather misogynistic take on the struggle Asian American women (and Asian women across the world) face. I think it’s dangerous to ignore the actual challenges and countless defeats women as a whole have had to endure to even be allowed in the same room as men. While it’s true some women are elevated as sex symbols, wasn’t Sessue Hayakawa literally just that? And even though he was working film earlier than Wong, I’d still lift her up for the actual fight she put up against the racism and misrepresentation of Asian Americans in media. (And as a Japanese American guy myself, I’d normally be all team-Hayakawa!)
