Comedian and writer Joel Kim Booster has leaked a copy of a script that sheds some light on how some perceive Asian men in Hollywood.
The script for a movie that Booster has not made public makes fun of Asian men in the dating world.
In the part of the script highlighted by Booster, two characters are described.
Rachel is a White girl. Arty is an Asian guy. A White girl with an Asian guy might seem highly unrealistic…but this is a movie.
Booster shared a screen shot of the script in a tweet that now has more than 16,000 likes and 2,000 retweets.

For what little it means: for all non-shitty white people out there, we apologize for this bullshit.
