Anna May Wong was not the daughter of immigrants, they where born here too.
Yes, I was about to mention that. She was a second generation US citizen.
Just finished listening to Daughter Of The Dragon, America did her dirty.
She’s beautiful
This reminds me of Josephine Baker. They had similar backstories. Only Baker had to find her success in France. They both lived around the same time period.
Love her. I’m currently writing a novel about her and actress Nina Mae McKinney 😊
love to see it
Please let us know the details of your book when it is published 😘
Sure would like to see her movies❣️
I had no idea. But here in the Aldi parking lot, grabbing a quarter, I noticed Anna May Wong on it, so I searched YT and found this journalistic video document. Cool.
Thanks for this "piece."🤟
Very cool to hear about !
am from England and wish i could have the coin, as i learnt about Anna May Wong from Hollywood Graveyard and she is super beautiful
stunning
Wooooooooooow.
And when for Miyoshi Umeki?
only people born in America should be on the currency
What the hell 😱
That's what I said...🤯🤯🤯🤯
How much is this coin worth?
How much is this coin worth
I think it's weird not normal when have they ever put an actress on any coins.
I was thinking the same thing. 1. The coin doesn’t have the typical weight of a quarter…more like the third works type coins you come across…cheap quality. 2. Why would you add anyone to a quarter…we’re purposely placing another individual on George Washington’s coin? Really? 3. Thirdly, if they were serious about doing that for some bizarre unexplainable reason, wouldn’t you select an historically relevant figure? They choose a random actress that I’m positive 99 percent of people have never heard of…AND…4. She happens to be of Chinese decent. I know we’re not supposed to ask questions but this is beyond obvious. Follow the money ladies and gentlemen…follow it from overseas straight into our corrupt politicians’ grimy hands.
Exactly
@@Donjasoni WOW!😮
@@Donjasoni You haven't heard of her probably because you have never watched a silent film. She is not a random actress. She is the first Chinese-American woman to be a film star and we in the Chinese-American community know who she is and we make up more than 1% of the population.The people who are depicted on these quarters are pioneering American women.

What do you admire most about “anime?”
Finally an anime quarter
Anna may*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now THAT is hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣
Get it..."anime"="Anna May"...LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this'll definitely go over people's heads! Did you mean to write this pun or was it just a mistake until I took it there?! 🤔 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤣
@@patriciachandler2933 *Ba dum tss*
I have the quarter
And what's the actual value of twenty five cents in 2022 America in 1922 it had the purchasing power of $4.02 2022 dollars, you can't even get a pack of gum for twenty five cents and your delivery service driver would throw the quarter in your face ! Great hollow symbolic gesture, the freaking machines at Chucky Cheeses doesn't even take quarters anymore ! 🐀
LETS GO! More Asian representation in the western world
Don’t worry, you’re going to conveniently be seeing much more. Much much more. It’s not by accident.
First Chinese American Hollywood film star🫡
East Asians are genetically closer to indigenous tribes of Americas but are still often labeled "foreigners" since I can prove how Koreans and Manchurians were genetically part White or European race before Japanese invasions since "Koreans Are Whitee" by Valdimir Mitovitch poses a question of how White Settlers kidnaped wives form indigenous tribes and how East of Rome Europeans are part East Asian so why not accept coasts East Asian given how sailors and soldier slept around?
I looked her up because I thought my quarter was fake!! 😅
Lol I did too!
It is. It’s a charade. Dog and pony show. The coin even feels like it was minted in a third world country. Washington doesn’t even look the same on it.
Acting fine, on the US quarter really 😱😱 You don't find American icon's on any currency outside of America, so No I'm not happy
A little “unprecedented” eh? Yeah, I think it’s a little too obvious what’s happening.
Exactly Donna
Only under the Biden administration will we not only see an actress put on an American currency coin but it's a Chinese- American actress. If I said I was surprised, I'd be lying.
Not cool
well okie dokie then
African African American needs to be on a $.25 also African American being in this country and they’ve built this country. It is unfair to see an actor or an actress on a freaking $25.25 and turn around and have Black people are African-American, on a penny do not go ahead and correct all my English because I’m not going to clean it out
go to the library. read frederick douglass. native americans faught for the south in the revolutionary war. the undustrial revolution made other forms of labor obsolete. nikola tesla should be on every coin before anyone else.
And now George Washington is no longer facing in God we trust. He has his back turn to God on the new mint.
One site says she's Chinese, your saying Asian....
Who?
Nobody like all actors
No disrespect but....who ?
Very appropriate for a National coin that already has the greatest president in our history on it. It’s insulting. If they want to play politics then do so on another coin…put whatever actress their propaganda think tanks can imagine but this is an insult. An insult but certainly not a mistake or coincidence.
Biden's fu ckery
anime wong???
Anna May Wong
🤣🤣🤣
If you ask me, I don't think anime is wrong
@@evanrune1 hi wrong I'm KingDanMan
I honestly don't think we should have Chinese people on our money, it just feels wong.
I'm just trying to understand why she's on US mint? I will learn about her. Did she do anything aside from acting? Civil rights? Legislation?
She broke barriers.
I would have appreciated Tadanari or Tadaatsu who were Japanese royalty and gave it up to come here and go to college. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsudaira_Tadanari
Or Kinjiro Matsudaira who was Japanese American and was twice elected Mayor of Edmonston, MD. and during the WWII which was a huge honor.
Since when does Hollywood ...oh wait...never mind... it's all making sense now
She's not that important to go on a coin what a joke
I think even the most idealistic and virtue signaling among us can see right through this latest charade.
And yes, I think it’s insulting to our intelligence too.
