On Friday night (February 17), the 33-year-old Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings actor played in the celebrity basketball game held at Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. At one point during the game, the Celebrity Look-A-Like Cam scanned through the crowd and showed a photo of Simu with his apparent lookalike in the stands, which turned out to be an Asian fan wearing glasses. Fans were quick to call out the moment saying that the fan looked nothing like Simu, pointing out the racism behind the incident. I seriously despise how people are so easily comfortable with being racist towards Asian people. that fan looks nothing like Simu Liu at all whatsoever man, one person wrote on Twitter. After the game, Simu reacted to the incident. I had a great time but this wasnt cool, Simu tweeted along with screenshot of the lookalike moment that a fan captured. As of right now, the NBA has not addressed the incident. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/2/3/AAaB-xAAEMj3.jpg <cite>ZannoL posted [p:971654047] in "Shan...
