A new crop of roles are starting to offer alternatives. It was not long ago that the actor and writer Joel Kim Booster first began going to auditions only to quickly realize that the roles available to him as an Asian American man were severely limited. “It does not get better from here, no matter how many Chinese-food delivery boys you play,” he recalled being told by other Asian American actors. But Booster kept at it. And eventually, in 2022, he got to portray a gay Asian American man in [“Fire Island,”](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRotDlmP0TZaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wNi8wMi9tb3ZpZXMvZmlyZS1pc2xhbmQtcmV2aWV3Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzcmZW1jPWVkaXRfcnJfMjAyNDA4MzAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTMyOTcyJm5sPXJhY2UvcmVsYXRlZCZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTc2NDczJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpmz2a00WZYuBNAUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) a groundbreaking rom-com that he also wrote. “So much of that movie,” Booster said, “is just a literal transcript from my life.” As it turned out, things did get a little better for Asian American men in Hollywood during the decade that Booster spent toiling. And he senses that the momentum has continued in the two years since “Fire Island” debuted. Moving past “the white gaze” Many of the newest Asian and Asian American stories seem unconcerned with “the white gaze,” he said. And so “the conversation has sort of moved on for a lot of people,” he said, adding that his movie “almost feels a little retrograde now.” Indeed, since the 2018 blockbuster “Crazy Rich Asians” became [a box office hit](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRotDlmP0TLaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYm94b2ZmaWNlbW9qby5jb20vcmVsZWFzZS9ybDExNTc4NTg4MTcvP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM3JmVtYz1lZGl0X3JyXzIwMjQwODMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzMjk3MiZubD1yYWNlL3JlbGF0ZWQmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE3NjQ3MyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZs9mtNFmWLgTQFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), Asian and [Asian American stories and characters have proliferated](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRotDlmP4QJAWh0dHBzOi8vYW5uZW5iZXJnLnVzYy5lZHUvbmV3cy9yZXNlYXJjaC1hbmQtaW1wYWN0L3Byb2dyZXNzLXdoYXQtcHJvZ3Jlc3MtaW5jbHVzaW9uLWhvbGx5d29vZC1saW1pdGVkLWFuZC1sYWNraW5nP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM3JmVtYz1lZGl0X3JyXzIwMjQwODMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzMjk3MiZubD1yYWNlL3JlbGF0ZWQmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE3NjQ3MyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZs9mtNFmWLgTQFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) in American pop culture.

Flesch reading score

Flesch reading score measures how complex a text is. The lower the score, the more difficult the text is to read. The Flesch readability score uses the average length of your sentences (measured by the number of words) and the average number of syllables per word in an equation to calculate the reading ease. Text with a very high Flesch reading ease score (about 100) is straightforward and easy to read, with short sentences and no words of more than two syllables. Usually, a reading ease score of 60-70 is considered acceptable/normal for web copy.
