Marvel Actress Changed Her Chinese Surname Because ‘Hollywood Is Racist’
Chloe Bennet is proud of her Chinese heritage, and she won’t let the haters deny that.
Chloe Bennet, the star of Marvel’s TV show “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” has no time for people who question her legitimacy as an Asian-American woman.
The actress, who is half Chinese and half white, snapped back at people on social media who criticized Bennet for changing her original surname, Wang.
“Changing my last name doesn’t change the fact that my BLOOD is half Chinese, that I lived in china, speak mandarin, or that I was culturally raised both American and Chinese,” Bennet wrote in a since-deleted comment on Instagram. “It means I had to pay my rent, and hollywood is racist and wouldn’t cast me with a last name that made them uncomfortable.”
“I’m doing everything I can, with the platform I have, to make sure no one has to change their name again, just so they can get work,” she added. “So kindly love, fuck off.”
The conversation surrounding Bennet’s surname name came to light after the actress shared a screenshot of fellow actor Ed Skrein’s announcement that he was turning down a role offered to him because he felt it would be white-washing a character of mixed Asian heritage.
Though she scrubbed her comment from the Instagram post, it continued to live on as a viral screenshot shared by her supporters. It even caught the attention of another accomplished Asian-American actor: Ken Jeong.
