No asian woman has ever won “best actress” from the academy awards. 

Just nominated. Once. In 1935. 

If there are no leading roles “written” for asian women, that is still a problem. 

A leading role doesn’t have to be written to be asian. Or black. Or any other race. A POC can just be a person, you know. A person in a leading role. 

And I’m tired of real life POC people being played by white actors, taking that opportunity away from POC actors and actresses. 

The wiki page used to say “natalie portman” as a winner. Which has since been corrected. Natalie Portman is a wonderful person and amazing actress, but she isn’t asian. I don’t know why she was put there.
