Simu Liu baru-baru ini telah mencetuskan kekecohan di Twitter apabila dia berkongsi cerita kepada IndieWire bahawa dia gagal mendapat watak dalam filem Crazy Rich Asians selepas empat kali melalui uji bakat.
Dia diberitahu ketika uji bakat bahawa dia tidak diberikan watak tersebut kerana tiada faktor yang mengujakan.
Simu Liu revealed that he auditioned four times for “Crazy Rich Asians” and ultimately lost out on the role. Why? Liu was told he didn't have the “It” factor for Hollywood: "I didn't have that thing that made people want to watch it." https://t.co/7kh54Ge7mV pic.twitter.com/EbJA1VTYLP

Beberapa netizen mendakwa Henry Golding mendapat watak utama dalam Crazy Rich Asians kerana dia mempunyai darah kacukan ‘orang putih’ manakala Simu Liu tidak memiliknya.
Selain itu, Henry Golding juga mempunyai loghat British. Dalam pada masa yang sama, netizen memuji wajah Henry Golding yang lebih menarik berbanding Simu Liu.
seeing a bunch of nonwhite people claim that Simu Liu doesn't have the right "look" for the role and finding it wild that nobody is connecting this to the fact that Henry Golding is half white. all they keep saying is "look at the material." y'all some losers lmao. https://t.co/DOoQmB19UW

Let's be real, it's because Goulding is more conventionally attractive & has the British accent. But it worked out. I can't imagine Lui in that CRA role nor Goulding in the Shang Shi role (if he had Chinese ancestry).

Selepas tular tentang isu tersebut, ramai rakyat Malaysia yang mempertahankan Henry Golding yang telah dipilih oleh pihak produksi filem untuk memegang watak Nick Young.
Netizen Malaysia menegaskan bahawa Henry Golding adalah separuh Iban yang menjadikannya lebih ‘dekat’ dengan latar belakang watak itu. Mereka juga berpendapat bahawa Henry Golding bukanlah seperti jejaka Barat berkulit putih kerana ramai sebenarnya lelaki di Sabah dan Sarawak yang mirip seperti pelakon tersebut.
He is a native Iban/East Malaysian – and not white passing unless you think all Asians are Chinese. Maybe you calm down. Asians come in many colours and I can find plenty of guys that look like him back home with no white ancestry.

Seeing this discourse is making my blood boil as a Southeast Asian and YES half-whiteTM. What OP is inadvertently doing is AGAIN making Asians a monolith, the premise leaving out that Simu Liu and Henry Golding are two different ethnicities. Henry Golding is SEAn, Simu Liu is NOT https://t.co/UNPmskVMvX

Mereka juga menegaskan bahawa Henry Golding adalah rakyat Asia Tenggara manakala Simu Liu tidak. Dengan kata lain, tidak semua orang Asia mempunyai warna kulit yang sama.
Untuk membuktikan bahawa tidak semua orang Asia kelihatan sama, netizen sempat berkongsi beberapa gambar lelaki Asia yang lain.
Melihat semula isu tular itu, ada juga netizen yang mempersoalkan semula tentang keperluan membuat perbandingan di antara dua orang lelaki Asia ini yang mempunyai kekuatan tersendiri.
Henry Golding is South east Asian . Crazy rich asian are about South east Asian rich people from singapore, so of course the market more focus in South east Asia.

Owh… IF they know Indonesia, we even have the most diversity in looks among all of our SEA bros/sis. We have the white pale-yellow-brown-very dark brown (almost black) skin, straight-wavy-curly hair, slanted to big round eyes, pug to sharp nose. & all are natives. 🤭

Why do they feel the need to pit the two against one another because they are both asian, is the idea of more than one handsome asian actor existing more than they can comprehend?
