Keke Palmer introduces her network’s first scripted show. “Southern Fried Rice” is a coming-of-age show about an Asian-American girl, Coco Jackson, raised by a Black-American family, and her experience going to an HBCU.

They’re eating her up on Twitter cause she said she created this network because of a lack of opportunity and leading roles for black actresses in the industry and yet she made the star of her first show be an Asian girl

That name is diabolical 😭😭😭

I’d watch this. There is a connection between our cultures, i think it would be cool to explore. I was watching this and like “okay this Asian woman is also Black, but not Black.” My bestie for life is Cantonese so we will def be watching this together.
