'No white man could do what Ali Wong did with Amy Lau.'
What we have yet to see is an Amy Lau, a rich Calabasas Asian woman existing in a world of women like Jordan — the blonde, inconceivably tan Angelenos who wear Eastern spirituality like an accessory on their kimono sleeves. And yet Amy's relentless pursuit of Jordan's approval is uncomfortably familiar to people of colour, especially the upwardly mobile.
I'd also be remiss not to mention that were “Amy Lau” to become “Adam Lawrence,” we'd lose a forceful performance from Wong. We've seen the comedian at her most outrageous , but inshe captures the nuanced layers of Amy's life — like the code-switching that many Asian Americans, and specifically Asian American women, slip in and out of in predominantly white spaces. The perpetual smile, the soft-spoken voice, the unflinching mask in the face of casual racism.
In Hollywood, the white man is the default. But no white man could do what Ali Wong did with Amy Lau. And that's just a fact.
