'We need more people of colour as casting directors'

An entertainment news website tweeted pictures of two actors Ronny Chieng and Susan Wokoma, appearing in a new romantic comedy called 'Super Simple Love Story'.

People assumed they were the lead characters and celebrated the fact that an Asian man and black woman were being shown as love interests. But it turns out they are playing sidekicks.

It got people talking about interracial couples and representation of them on screen. We spoke to one interracial couple who work in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles. Jimy is Indian American and Andrew is of Puerto Rican heritage.
