Why Asians Are Pissed at ‘Blade Runner 2049’

“Blade Runner 2049” is finally out and fans are scrambling to theaters, eagerly wanting to watch the film. With the first installment released in 1982, sci-fi fans were exceptionally excited for the new version.

Similar to the original, “Blade Runner 2049” is set in Los Angeles and has a lot of Asian influence in it.

Like, a lot of Asian influence…

Which leaves fans, particularly people of color, wondering….

WHERE THE #$%* ARE ALL THE ASIAN PEOPLE!?

Aside from Dave Bautista, who is part-Filipino and an Asian guy who does a White woman’s nails (seriously?), there are LITERALLY ZERO Asian characters.

And the Asian community is sounding off on Twitter, expressing their distaste, and rightfully so.

Looks like we still have a long way to go before Hollywood gets their act together.
