HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Marica Hase is one of three female Asian adult performers profiled by the Daily Beast in a recent piece examining racism and stereotyping in the industry.
Written by Aurora Snow, herself a former adult performer, the piece stems from the massage parlor shootings in Atlanta in which Asian women were killed.
“Marica’s views of being Asian and working in adult run counter to what some people [might] assume. She feels that being Asian has helped get her work and other opportunities,” a rep said. “She hasn’t experienced stigmatization in the industry and tells a story about shooting a box cover with other models and being chosen for center stage.”
Snow also interviewed Ember Snow and Kimberly Chi for the piece, who share how they have often been cast as masseuses and foreign exchange students and how they’ve reframed these roles to be more positive.
“The Daily Beast covered an interesting topic, and I was glad to be part of this piece. Ember and Kimberly also had some interesting insights. Whether you’re in the industry or not, you will definitely learn something by reading it,” Hase said.
