Following @NZonAir’s “Rising to the challenge of creating better media content for Asian New Zealanders” report, which included only recent migrants amongst the 18 Chinese people interviewed, it’s time for a rant about @ShortlandTweet's lack of South East & East Asian characters.
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now, as I've felt that whereas #ShortlandStreet does better than most New Zealand TV shows in reflecting the diversity of Aotearoa New Zealand, it does have work to do.
Disclaimer: The information from imdb, wikipedia & my own recollections, so it is likely to be incomplete. I’d be happy for this information to be expanded on and corrected where necessary. I’d love for someone to do the same analysis on South Asian characters on #ShortlandStreet
