Another underlooked reason why being ethnic SUCKS

You can only pull off Old Hollywood aesthetic as a White person.
Imagine a POC doing this, there would be 0 fun and no immersion.

Obviously there was some diversity on film, but its implications are more brutal.
Anna May Wong for example is the EPITOME of the yellow fever historicity, literally built for (vintage) BWC.
When you have images like this staring at you back across the ages and reminding you time and time again that you shouldn't even exist it's hard to have any hope.

I really do love America but it's just cruel sometimes.

In October 1937, the press carried rumors that Wong had plans to marry her male co-star in this film, childhood friend and Korean-American actor Philip Ahn. Wong replied, "It would be like marrying my brother"

The only thing that can change is the date on the calendar

You can’t win as an East Asian.

Stay an incel in the USA and watch your women get railed by BWC or Move back to China, get laid, but live on a shitty rice farm and live like an actual slave kissing the CCP and Jinping’s ass.

Jews and Italians are ethnics who can easily pull off this look, in fact this type of aesthetic is also heavily associated with the sicilian-italian american mafias of the 40s and 50s
