Hollywood’s only Chinese-American superhero has stirred up heated debate on social media after she spoke out against discrimination in American show business.


Chloe Bennet Scarpe Uomo Nike Air Max Plus Metallic Oro Rosse , a Chinese-American actress who stars in Marvel’s trending TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., explained on social media why she changed her last name from Wong to Bennet, arguing that Hollywood is “racist” and wouldn’t cast her with a last name that made them “uncomfortable.”


“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 Scarpe Uomo Nike Air Max 270 Elemental Oro Nere ,” replied Bennet.


Bennet’s remarks come after Ed Skrein stepped down from his role as Major Ben Daimion in the upcoming Hellboy movie for fear that his participation would be “whitewashing” a character of Asian descent.


Racial barriers have been a crucial problem in Hollywood. According to research conducted by the University of Southern California in 2015, nearly three-quarters of all characters in the top 100 films of 2014 were white, while only 5.3 percent of Asian artists can share the same privilege. In another report released in 2017, only 3.4 percent of over 1,000 surveyed films had an Asian director.


“Asian artists can hardly stand out in Hollywood. Most roles starred by Asians are fixed and stereotyped, as if all Asians are good at math and martial arts. There is an invisible discrimination lurking in show business Scarpe Uomo Nike Air Max 270 KPU TPU All Nere , as the difference of your skin color may bring disparity in your income and opportunities,” said Alex She, a New York-based Chinese-American photographer and movie maker.


Bennet’s experience has led to heated debate on both Chinese and foreign social media. As of press time, over 17 million netizens have viewed the hashtag WangKeYing (Chloe’s Chinese name) on Sina Weibo, leaving over 14,000 comments supporting the actress.


“It’s understandable that Wong is forced to abide by the rules made by white society. However Uomo Air Max 90 Ultra SE Nere Italia , I’m tired of Hollywood movies depicting Chinese as either martial masters or nerds. We need more good Asian artists to reshape Chinese people’s images among foreign audiences, changing their biased view of us,” wrote a netizen.


In response to the public concern, Bennet told fans that she will do everything she can to make sure “no one has to change their name again, just so they can get work.”


BEIJING, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- German carmaker Volkswagen will recall 1 Uomo Air Max 90 Ultra Moire Nere Scontate ,950 diesel vehicles in China affected by its emission cheating scandal, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said in a statement on Monday.


The company is working on developing a remedy for customers and will submit solutions to Chinese authorities soon, the statement said, citing a report submitted by Volkswagen to the AQSIQ.

Volkswagen should recall the affected vehicles as soon as possible and keep Chinese authorities updated to protect Chinese customers' interests, the statement said.


On Sept. 18, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Notice of Violation (NOA) of the Clean Air Act to Volkswagen (Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, and Volkswagen Group of America) accusing the company of installing software that circumvented emission control tests in about half million diesel cars sold in the United States since 2008.


The software, which the EPA called a "defeat device" Uomo Air Max 90 Hyperfuse Blu Saldi , only runs the full emission controls when the car is being tested. During normal driving, however, the car will emit nitrogen oxide of up to 40 times the standard.


BOGOTA, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- Colombia's Ministry of Defense Sunday said two Venezuelan military airplanes illegally overflew the country's airspace Saturday afternoon.

Colombia reinforced security in the border department of Guajira following the incident Scarpe Uomo Nike Air Max 97 Grigie Nere , Colombia's Caracol news network reported, adding the government plans to request an explanation.


The two countries have been locked in a diplomatic scuffle since Venezuela closed major border crossing points last month and deported over a thousand of Colombians in a bid to fight a thriving cross-border smuggling trade.

Some 19,952 people have crossed the border at random points along the river that runs between the two countries since the bridges were closed off by the Venezuelan military guard, according to the regional UN office.
