Hodge’s character in “Insecure” is groundbreaking not only because Andrew is a romantic interest, but also because he is also part of a rarely represented interracial matchup between a black woman and an Asian man.
Like Andrew, Hodge is in an interracial relationship with a black woman. But he’s careful about bringing anything from his personal life onscreen, as that “would insinuate that black women are interchangeable and can all be treated the same, so I couldn’t allow myself to do that,” he said. “What we know from media research in general, the more you see a particular type of image repeated in the media, the more comfortable people become with that image ― in other words, it becomes normalized in important ways,” Hunt said.
Indeed, it’s uncommon for Asian characters in Hollywood to have full-bodied, fleshed out storylines that showcase a range of emotions. Arevealed that Asian characters are tokenized in television or missing from shows entirely. When Asians are cast, they’re often relegated to the roles of perpetual foreigners, exoticized women, emasculated men and model minorities, among other outdated stereotypes.
I think [Andrew’s] incredibly important for the culture. He’s important for my little cousins, so they believe they can be who they want to be.Unfortunately, in 2018, a character like Asian Bae is still somehow a rarity. And Hodge feels it’s got to do with the stunning lack of diversity behind the camera.
