I'm the same way. I'm half-Asian and not seeing myself represented is super depressing, so I latch onto anything that has good kind of Asian representation. I also root for Asian-American actors in the industry getting these kinds of roles, too.
I'm not bitter at all that they didn't make Iron Fist Asian. It would have been a perfect opportunity.
Seriously, considering that they almost did with Lewis Tan (who was more than qualified) and yet cast the most mediocre white man ever speaks volumes to their priorities. This could have been the best opportunity to get some of that proper representation, but they went the lazy route instead. We could have had it all, dammit.
