Media outlets incorrectly used photos of Randall Park to announce actor Ali Wong's divorce, renewing the #WrongAsian debate on Twitter


Media outlets incorrectly used photos of actor Randall Park in stories about Ali Wong's divorce.

Parade Magazine and MSN were among the outlets who made the blunders.

The errors have sparked outrage on social media and renewed the Twitter topic #WrongAsian.

When Ali Wong announced she's divorcing her husband Justin Hakuta earlier this week, some media outlets incorrectly used photos of Asian-American actor Randall Park to share the news.

The mistakes have sparked outrage on social media and renewed the trending Twitter topic #WrongAsian, with users decrying yet another case of a minority group member being misidentified in the media.

There's a lawsuit between Whites on a similar topic. The parents of a child abused the child. The local newsletter put the grandparents' photos on an article, saying that those were the abusers.

The newsletter wasn't in trouble when the grandparents sued it. But that's because the child's parents' White woman attorney was the one who gave the photo to the newsletter.
