Ali Wong Quote: “Asians like predictability. We like safety. We want to know that if we work hard, there will be a payoff.

Ali Wong Quote: “I tried to stay away from the classic Disney princess movies. In addition to featuring a lot of unempowered women, those movies are just so white.

I don’t want you to grow up wishing you were white and having that inform all of your decisions later on in life. I want you to be proud of having black hair and Asian features.”
