Sandra Oh believes that “things have changed” in Hollywood for Asian Americans.
The 50-year-old actress believes there has been a noticeable shift in the entertainment industry’s attitude in recent years.
Sandra stated in an interview with ‘Squid Game’ actress Jung Ho-Yeon for Variety’s Actors on Actors series: “I was driving the other day. On Sunset Boulevard, it’s as if you’re driving along with American capitalism, seeing what Hollywood, or North American capitalism, has to offer in terms of what we should follow and buy. And you’re a part of it.
“‘Oh, there’s my gal,’ you say as you stand on the side of a building. But I’ll also note that there were perhaps two more billboards with another Asian girl and another model, who I believe is mixed race.

On Sunset Boulevard, it’s as if you’re driving along with American capitalism, seeing what Hollywood or North American capitalism is showing us about what we should follow and buy. And you’re on it. “You’re standing on the side of a building, thinking to yourself, ‘Oh, there’s my gal.’ But I’ll also note that there were perhaps two more billboards with another Asian girl and another model, who I believe is mixed race.
“I’m not sure how many times I’ve driven down Sunset Boulevard—perhaps a billion.” And I doubt I would have seen that four years ago.
Sandra, who was born in Canada and became an American citizen in 2018, explained: “I’m only talking four years ago because I’ve had this question, I guess, my entire career, which is, ‘How much do you think things have improved for Asian Americans?'” I only have one comment for 2019, which is that I believe things have changed for Asian Americans.

The former “Grey’s Anatomy” star, who is the daughter of South Korean immigrants, believes that Asian American performers will see greater “transformation” and “development” in the future.
Sandra, who was born in Canada and became an American citizen in 2018, added, “I’m only talking four years ago, but I’ve had this question, I guess, my entire career, which is, ‘How much do you think things have improved for Asian Americans?'” I just have one thing to say about 2019, and that is that I believe things have changed for Asian Americans.
As a result, I understand your concern. For Asian Americans, you play a crucial role in the image-making process. I believe that the time for a change, opening, and progress has arrived.
