He basically implied that if Tarantino was in charge of the film industry, minority actors wouldn't ever be cast. My immediate reaction was "What the frick are you talking about?". Tarantino unironically probably has more diversity in his movies than any other white male director. Even if Simu Liu was talking about Asian actors specifically, did he forget that Lucy Liu was one of the main characters in Kill Bill? It's probably her most iconic role.
Out of the nine films Tarantino has directed, only two of them had exclusively white male leads (Reservoir Dogs and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood). Basterds was mainly white and male too but Shosanna was also one of the lead characters which is why I didn't count it. Marvel has made four movies with non-white leads (Eternals, Black Panther 1 & 2, Shang-Chi), Tarantino has made five (Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight, Django, Pulp Fiction, and Death Proof). And this is despite the fact that Marvel has made more than three times as many movies as he has.
Marvel was run by a guy that actually was blatantly racist until 2015 (Ike Perlmutter). I really have no idea how Disney has convinced people that they're some champion of progressive values. They literally never have been. They didn't have any non-white leads in their animated films until the 90's and they're just now starting to slowly acknowledge that gay people exist.
Their PR department must be really good at their jobs. The Mouse has somehow managed to appeal to right-wingers by basically never being controversial or pushing the envelope but they've also somehow gotten zoomers to believe that they're leading the charge for social justice. It genuinely is kind of fascinating to me how Disney can somehow play both sides successfully.

Tarantino is just a dude from the 90's that got comfortable around ethnics and probably had a lot of black and brown friends. He wasn't trying to fill a quota. The shit me and my black/brown/gay coworkers did in the 90's and early 2000's would get my family thrown into a meat grinder these days.

There's a class of Asian male (Simu Liu, Eugene Yang) where their whole identity is the insecure, aggrieved, oppressed, woe is me while simultaneously benefiting from heaps of success and privilege despite their alleged short-comings. You get used to their predictable bleating based on projection of their internal issues.
In Simu's case, he's in an industry that prizes looks, and while fit, he is not a very attractive man by any standard.

The funniest thing is I remember the backlash about Simu being ugly coming from mainland Chinese, except it was more about how he looks like a typical Western view of what a Chinese man is. Like facially he represents only one kind of Chinese and Hollywood keeps promoting those guys and there's tons of different looking Chinese that never get any rep or something like that. That's what I got from the actual Chinese response and not the "China is racist against their own" bullshit.

Nah, it didn't have to do with American anything. They legitimately didn't think he looked good. They thought he looked like some homly butt common northern Chinese guy, average at best.

Funny enough I think he was slightly off because Marvel does hinge on the actors sometimes. The whole thing kicked off with RDJ making a comeback when everyone was tired of superheroes the first time, and nobody, NOBODY, is gonna see an Ant-Man film. They went to see Paul Rudd and maybe Hank Pym. But it's still feels more and more than half true nowadays. Anthony Mackie is one thing, but knowing Florence Pugh is doing capeshit and nobody cares is weird.

Shang-man's take is so pantpoopingly stupid it got me into commenting on a Lawlz thread. DisMarvel are still passive progressive and their "diversity films" are still comical exaggerations of racial cultures. Wakanda is some "Africa is a nation" nonsense that still has people chucking spears with bones in their lips, but it's cool cause it's futuristic spears . Shang-Chi literally went into magical Asian land that's all the Asian cultures smushed together. Was it supposed to be Chinese? Korean? Filipino? Technically India is Asia too.
Maybe I'm just following and am friends with The Good Libs but nobody I see does believe that. I saw a bunch of rehashed 56th New Gay Disney Character memes when they pulled that shit again with a new movie. Then again, I mentioned how I stay away from shitholes like /r/politics in another thread and places like that where the worst, dumbest libs congregate.
