Ronny Chieng has slammed People Magazine for misidentifying the cast of Crazy Rich Asians.
Ronny Chieng has called out People.com for misidentifying Asian actors from Crazy Rich Asians in a recent photo from the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
In the photo, Chieng was captured with Tan Khen Hua, Awkwafina, Ken Jeong and Fiona Xie. However, People captioned the photo “Jae W Suh, Randall Park, Awkwafina, Michelle Yeoh, Ken Jeong & Fiona Xie.”
On Instagram, Chieng shared a screenshot of People’s blunder, writing, “People that’s @khenghua not Jae W Suh. And I’m not Randall Park. People Michelle Yeoh is also NOT in this photo.”
Australian actor Remy Hii also spotted the mistake and shared it on Twitter with the caption, “@people wants to talk minorities and underrepresentation, just doesn’t want to learn our names. Did I get that right?”
