Kristina Wong

She identifies as a feminist[1] and her work often tackles themes regarding race, sex, and privilege, often in conjunction with the Asian-American experience, through a satirical lens.

For her senior project, she created “Big Bad Chinese Mama”, a fake mail-order bride website to tackle fetishization of Asian women by white males.

[9] It featured biographies of real Asian women accompanied by photographs of them in fighting poses and abrasive language critiquing the viewer's potential search for mail order brides.

[16] While doing so, she intends on performing various exaggerated campaign events, such as a debate match with a dog[17] and public stoning by audience members during a stump speech.

[21] Wong has subsequently been elected to the Wilshire Center Koreatown Neighborhood Council in April 2019, a largely volunteer position that meets once a month at the local library.

"[5][26] Her previous works touched upon stereotypes of Asian American women by Western society, i.e. fetishism and the model minority myth, in a satirical manner.

[27] Despite the racial differences back home, once in Uganda, she was often called “mzungu,” a Bantu term for “white.”[27] “Suddenly, I was the face of oppression...it was really weird to go from constantly calling out white people to people having to literally walk around the power I bring to the room.”[27] Wong accepts the privilege of being able to live out an "Eat, Pray, Love" moment of self discovery in a foreign country and ponders how to "leave a legacy, and not be a colonial asshole?”.

[27] Additionally, Wong discusses the pervasive nature of social media and contrasts it to the lack of personal understanding between people of different cultures, admitting to the urges of documenting everything online.

[28] Written and performed by Wong, it features Festo Wine, MC Kash, LMG Silver, Sarah Sullivan, and Nerio himself.

Over the course of the play, Wong uses comedy to address themes such as the often unattainable nature of the American Dream, anti-Asian racism in the U.S. caused by the pandemic, and the invisible labor of women and people and color.

For that, she has appeared on Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell on FX to discuss an article she wrote for XoJane entitled "9 Wack Things White Guys Say to Deny Their Asian Fetish"[38] and her obsession with professional NBA player Jeremy Lin.

[41][42] In June 2015, Wong was a panelist on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, discussing Emma Stone's casting as a half Asian-Pacific woman in Aloha (2015 film).

[44] After going on a video binge and watching people living on a limit of $10 a week for food, Wong was motivated to spend only $50 for a whole month of grocery expenses.
