There's a lot to unpack here:

- Chinese anti-blackness (note we're talking mainland here, not disapora - though the Chinese American community has its own version to deal with - and we especially need to fight anti-blackness here)

- White willingness to cater to others' racism https://twitter.com/_ItsMarisWorld_/status/1305179796603908096
- Ad execs missing the point of Boyega's piece entirely

- Re-creating your brand ambassador's highly personal work w/out telling them (legally clear, but bad ethically & creatively - smarter localization would have been to hire a local actor to make their own highly personal ad)
- Companies wanting mainland Chinese dollars and being willing to do whatever it takes to get them (see: the concentration camp-supporting mess that is Disney's Mulan)
