Jurassic Park , ever heard of it? Law and Order: SVU , hello! Mulan , Oz , Mr. Robot , M Butterfly and A. The list goes on. That's why it's very important for television writers and television producers to be responsible about their content because it's reaching young people at a very impressionable time. When you realize that [television] actually influences people, it's an eye-opening kind of thing, which I love. I like understanding that something that we're doing isn't just reduced to its popularity but there's a little bit more to it.

George Huang, was gay right before he left the show:. I was also kind of torn because, you know, it's positive But it did feel a little convenient or kind of lazy or, you know, kind of not particularly the best way that you want to come out as a character. It wasn't like Ellen coming out. It wasn't a great thing that was really impactful and funny or human or whatever; it was just kind of a minor point made.

So there was a kind of a double insult to me. It made me not want to be those things. I was kind of in denial about it. And this is a kind of denial that a lot of ethnic kids, specifically I think Asian American kids and some gay kids, have where they avoid the issue of the truth of them. And when you avoid that, it causes only problems for you and it takes you a long time to kind of untangle. The thing that you think is going to kill you is actually the thing that enlivens you and drives you and pushes you forward.

It's really actually an amazingly great feeling to be yourself.

What a concept, right? And I think more people definitely know that now than they did before, although it's still a struggle for lots of people. On how Crazy Rich Asians has or hasn't changed the Hollywood landscape:. Let's just celebrate this thing for a minute. I was around when The Joy Luck Club came out, and there was no social media; people were less kind of rah-rah passionate about it.

But Asian American people, to their credit, got really into this movie and that was really heartwarming and empowering because I've always said, in my career, to Asian American audiences, 'You've got to spend your money on Asian American content. I really want you to do that. Put your money where your mouth is. You know, [ Crazy Rich Asians ] is not erasing any kind of anti-Asian sentiment or anything that keeps Asian people down in the media, but it has shifted the needle in a noticeable way.

Jackson also came out

I was invited to be a member of the Motion Picture Academy right before Crazy Rich Asians came out, and it's because there's a trend of wanting to be inclusive and diverse, particularly in these bodies which purport to be representing everyone. Now they do represent more people. For example, I did this movie, Bird Box. And as luck would have it, it became this big thing, and my interaction with someone like Sandra Bullock becomes this kind of thing that still surprises me.
