when the show came out I complained about this to a white fan and they tried to tell Summer Glau was Asian. lol

I think the implication was supposed to be that Simon and River Tam were a fraction Chinese? But yeah, if that was the intention, then it's almost worse. Like, why cast white people and then imply they're slightly Chinese? Why not just cast Chinese actors?

So they really trying to pass the actress off as Asian! The way it was portrayed, i thought she was at least half/that was the implication. But WOW. I would have thought that by that time Hollywood would be over casting white actors as other ethnicities, but no. Clearly, not :/

I mean they're still not over it.

da

I don't think one white fan thinking an actress is Asian means anyone involved with the show was actually trying to pass her off as Asian. Some people just make deeply stupid assumptions about race.

AYRT

Ah, I misread that then/kinda took it as a blanket statement for the entire show (or at least showrunners). Thanks.

And agreed, people do make stupid assumptions about race.

Summer Glau looks about as much like an Asian woman as Betty Boop
