Opinion: Now here's an Asian mom and daughter relationship I can relate to

While most Oscar nominees in years past have morphed for me into one big monolithic mix of majority-White faces, a record-breaking number of this year's nominees resemble my Asian-American family. I see my auntie in Hong Chau's portrayal of tough-loving nurse Liz in "The Whale." I see my well-meaning father in the laundromat co-owner Waymond Wang, played poignantly by Ke Huy Quan in "Everything Everywhere All At Once." I even see myself in the anxious, overachieving, but loving Meilin "Mei Mei" Lee, voiced by Rosalie Chiang, in "Turning Red."
