Asian American Reviews Bling Empire & “Exposes” the Cast Member who was Rude to Me :(

Look y'all, I know that this is a reality TV show and this is a rather critical deep dive and analysis but hey, when it's the FIRST and ONLY (as of now) reality TV show featuring an all Asian cast, it holds that much more weight not only on how our community reacts but also on how non-Asian communities perceive us as Asian Americans. Now when I think about it in that perspective, its impact is big - bigger than the price tag on any of the cast's diamond necklaces.

✨ VIDEO OUTLINE
00:53 What is Netflix's Bling Empire?
1:03 My Trailer Reaction - Thoughts Before Watching the Show
2:24 What I liked about the show - character depth, pushing against common Asian stereotypes, female empowerment
4:49 My issues with the show - lack of relatability & reinforcing the Model Minority Myth
6:25 "Exposing" one of Bling Empire's main stars, Kevin Kreider, from a rude, hypocritical one-on-one experience I had with him over the phone (yes folks, I'm here to spill the tea)
^ NOTE:
my issue is not that Kevin didn't have time for my request (I get it, he's busy & has a big following on his own) - my problem was with 1) his rude tone 2) belittling of my organization and 3) hypocrisy
