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.”
