LOS ANGELES - The Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) is criticizing the new Warner Brothers motion picture “Cloud Atlas”—promoted as artistically groundbreaking because its actors swap racial and sexual identities—as business-as-usual in its exclusion and offensive yellow-faced renditions of Asian people.

Please join us in discussing how to improve media depictions of Asian Americans.

Agenda items include:

• Report on the APA Media Coalition’s annual diversity meeting with CBS, plus our upcoming ones with ABC, NBC, and Fox (if you have concerns about their programs, be sure to tell us!)
• Report from our pre-screening of Warner Brothers’ upcoming film Cloud Atlas featuring yellowface, whiteface, and blackface!
