Opinion | Marie Myung-Ok Lee: 'SNL' firing Shane Gillis isn't enough. Asian stereotypes still support the white status quo. - NBCNewsTHINK

That we have to prove to white people that we are human and not a monolithic yellow swarm is emotional and intellectual labor we shouldn’t have to expend, but it at least exposes the lie that we are honorary whites. Whites don’t have to explain the value of their existence; they occupy and maintain the center of culture.

On the other hand, it’s disheartening that it took 45 seasons for “SNL” to have its first Asian American regular. It’s not like there hasn’t been a plethora of talented artists of Asian descent long available for the show to hire.
