Thrilled by Ali Wong's historic Emmy win as the first Asian woman in 75 years to receive a leading role award on television. Quinta Brunson also made history as the first Black actress to win the best actress in a comedy Emmy in over 40 years. The scarcity of leading roles for women of color makes their victories particularly significant. Despite claims that race shouldn't be brought up, Wong's win is a triumph against the odds, highlighting the longstanding lack of opportunities for Asian women in leading roles. This moment is a justifiable celebration and a long-overdue recognition of their talent within the AAPI community.
