On The Lack Of Asian Men
Tran said this in a recent Glamour article:
“I can’t really speak to the casting process and the decisions that were
made, but it is unfortunate that there weren’t a lot of Asian men this
season,” she told Glamour.
She was happy to connect with Thomas N. over their shared heritage, and
explained why having similar experiences is often a plus for
minorities. “It’s not every day that you get to bond with somebody on
your immigrant parents and you get to connect with somebody on that
level because not everybody can understand that. That was a really
special conversation for me because [Thomas] really understood where I
was coming from, and my family means everything to me...being a child of
immigrant parents is something that not everybody can understand. And
so, having that conversation with Thomas N. really meant the world.”
