Simu Liu Interview: Hollywood Racism, Copenhagen Test, Casting Dreams
www.hollywoodreporter.com
external-link
Four years after Shang-Chi, Simu Liu has his first lead role in The Copenhagen Test — and he thinks it would probably be a different story if he were white.

The actor, who stars in Peacock thriller ‘The Copenhagen Test,’ discusses the lack of lead roles that followed ‘Shang-Chi’ and why he thinks that’d be very, very different if he were white: “A lot of these directors will never hire me.”

    Shang-Chi wasn’t good, but he was good in it. Always wondered why he never got to lead another movie.

      Hollywood is just another of the big businesses owned by old (read “racist”) money. Look at them all being cozy with Trump for proof of what they like to see.

      (I’m Caucasian myself, BTW.)
