Careful if you actually try pitching these, Maiello might get jealous.

Edit to add: can you make up pseudonyms as good as some in the article, though?

The receptionist, Bingbing Peranio, listed as a “manager” on her disclosure, spoke with a reporter about her relationship with Ms. Yang

Crazy Rich Asians is as close as they'll get for a while - not the mythology there around rugged individualism, much less chainsaws.

A little less seriously, I am reminded of a recent movie and how some presented it as a minority empowerment coup. Which clearly it was not, as was well pointed out by Fatima Bhutto @ The Guardian, not at all: Hollywood has played an crucial role in defanging crazy rich westerners: billionaire Bruce Wayne is a civil saviour, Daddy Warbucks saves sad orphans, Christian Grey is an irresistible charmer. Hollywood turned “show me the money” into a feelgood mantra – and how cute were those shopaholics in Clueless? To be extra safe in its sanitising of the ultra-wealthy, Hollywood now lets members of minorities play them in box-office-busting films. A genuine breakthrough, however, will only come when Hollywood makes the Asian version of that great film on the modern capitalism: Asian Psycho.

Big picture question. How come no law enforcement concerning this? I.E. registered lobbyist or P.A.C. or similar? How did/does it fall through the cracks?

This is a white privilege
