People who defend whitewashing have hundreds of tired excuses for why roles should be white, but never Asian-American. These excuses always boil down to a white supremacist ideology that believes “American” is synonymous with “white,” and Asian-Americans have no place in this country.

So it’s no surprise that Hollywood always tells Asians that the best we can get is crumbs—even when we’re the ones who made the cake. But rather than agree that there’s a problem, defenders of whitewashing will instead try to redirect our attention to something like L’s supposed “blackwashing”—which doesn’t exist, and is instead a concept designed to put a wedge between two communities of color who are both constantly told to be happy with their crumbs.

From my own personal experiences with Hollywood, Asian-Americans don’t get anywhere by asking nicely like a model minority. Instead of staying silent or being misdirected, we need to be loud. Luckily, we don’t need a magical notebook to do so in this instance—we can boycott Death Note to make it flop, and remind Hollywood that if we don’t get any cake, they don’t either.

(Hate-watching still counts as watching. Don’t watch it at all)
