Emma Stone In Aloha
Do you remember Aloha, the Cameron Crowe romantic comedy from 2015? If you don’t, we can’t blame you. The movie bombed hard in every way imaginable. People were appalled that Emma Stone was cast to play Allison Ng. She simply did not look Chinese or Hawaiian whatsoever. This was another case of Hollywood whitewashing, and the actress has since seen the light. When she spoke to the Los Angeles Times, she said, “I’ve become the butt of many jokes. I’ve learned on a macro level about the insane history of whitewashing in Hollywood and how prevalent the problem truly is. It’s ignited a conversation that’s very important.” While it was awful, this is not the only bad thing about it. In fact, its poor performance at the box office had more to do with a lack of interest and poor reviews.
