Actress Chloe Bennet is being very honest on how hard it can be can be as an Asian-American actor in Hollywood. Chloe, who stars on "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", took to social media to clap back after people questioned her last name. She started in the business as Chloe Wang, but changed her last name. She wrote: "Changing my last name doesn't change the fact that my BLOOD is half Chinese." She added: "It means I had to pay my rent, and Hollywood is racist and wouldn't cast me with a last name that made them uncomfortable." Chloe also praised white actor Ed Skrein for turning down a role in "Hellboy 2" that was originally written for an asian actor.
