Lucy Liu Being Race Baited
I haven't heard any of this criticism, but apparently Lucy Liu is getting grief because some people feel she's
betrayed her Chinese roots by playing a Japanese martial arts stunnerin Kill Bill. The way I see it, there's only 2 ways to deal with people who criticize you - ignore them or make them look stupid. Lucy has chosen the latter:
"It's insane. Obviously I can't play a WASP girl or a Catholic or an Italian. And now I'm being criticised by some inside and outside the Asian community for putting on a kimono and playing a Japanese woman."
"Am I only supposed to play Chinese-American women? Absolutely not. So I just tell myself to keep moving forward and not be held back by those kinds of attitudes."
"I'm an actress, this is the way I look, so do you think I can handle the role or not? That's what matters."
