Kristen Kroc is of Chinese and Dutch descent. at 2017 interview with DC Comics NewsCrick spoke about his experience as a mixed-race Asian actress: “I started a long time ago, and in my first job I played a half-Asian girl, and she’s a native. That never happened again so I suppose, Street Fighter. I interpreted my ethnic identity, and then all subsequent roles excluded an interpretation of my ethnic origin. So I’ve often played white characters because my eyes are wide, and my hair isn’t actually blonde. [señala su cabello actual]Instead, my natural hair color is light because I didn’t challenge them with my looks. It wasn’t a problem for me. So personally, I don’t think I felt a limitation on my career.

But I think there’s a big problem: I have quite Chinese friends who find it really hard to get their jobs on the ground because there are simply no available roles. It’s like I’m in Canada looking for an actress to play my mom: a Chinese actress, I think she’s young, in her fifties, if she’s the right age, maybe in her sixties. Hard to find. I don’t think there were opportunities for people.

And I think that’s changing and obviously people like Constance Wu and other people are really changing the narrative around this. Even if we talk about the Indians Aziz Ansari. I think what they do really matters. And in Canada, the problem is still huge. I do not know apart from rest kim [una comedia canadiense]I don’t think we have much available. And I think this kind of thing helps: make sure of the characters [sean auténticos] As for me from now on, I won’t explain anything other than being a mestizo. Because I have the opportunity to do it, and it will help little by little.”
