Biden calls for ‘fair deal’ for striking Hollywood writers
The HinduPresident Joe Biden called for a “fair deal” for Hollywood’s striking writers on Monday as he hosted a White House screening of the upcoming streaming series American Born Chinese to mark Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. “I sincerely hope the writers’ strike in Hollywood gets resolved and the writers are given a fair deal they deserve as soon as possible.” He added: “This is an iconic, meaningful American industry. And we need the writers and all the workers and everyone involved to tell the stories of our nation and the stories of all of us.” American Born Chinese is an adaptation of a graphic novel of the same name by Gene Luen Yang, and stars Oscar winners Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. Biden used his brief remarks onstage to outline his administration’s efforts to highlight the accomplishments of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities and to speak out against prejudice and violence targeting them.
