Simu Liu, a Chinese actor famous for his role in the Marvel film Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, was not happy when he was invited to play in the NBA's celebrity game yesterday, but an incident at the event sparked a racial discrimination controversy.

NBA games are arranged to interact with the audience, and yesterday there was a fun activity of "who looks like a celebrity". However, when the picture of Simu Liu was displayed on the screen, the camera was focused on an Asian boy, but many people thought that the boy did not look like Simu Liu at all, but rather reinforced the stereotype that "all Asians look the same".
