The actress, who recently reprised the role of Nelly Yuki for the HBO Max show, says her character went from a “supremely confident' and 'beautiful' character to one full of 'cultural stereotypes of the model minority.'
“The audition for this role came at a time when characters specifically written for Asian American women were so few and far between and I was under the impression, via the sides given for Nelly Yuki’s first episode, that the role had more complexity and nuance than most other auditions I had seen,” she told the magazine.
That writing shift also came with the addition of glasses for her character Nelly, but Chang reveals she was “stunned” after learning the reasoning. “A comment was made about production not wanting viewers to think they were replacing me with another Asian actor who was previously on the show,” she admitted.
The actress expressed that on-screen portrayals of Asian Americans have “very tangible impacts on societal stereotypes” and portrayals can reinforce “conceptions of race that are harmful.” But she also said that she didn’t necessarily have space on the show to air her concerns.
