2023 A100 honorees, the 100 most impactful AAPI individuals and groups across industries over the past year.In addition to Quan and Vellani, honorees in the entertainment category this year include rapper Saweetie, comedian Joel Kim Booster, Oscar nominee Hong Chao, K-pop group New Jeans and the casts of the upcoming “American Born Chinese” and “Joy Ride,” among others.Despite the massive success of “Everything Everywhere All At Once” at the 95th Academy Awards in March, visibility and awareness of Asian American Pacific Islanders remains low.According to an annual study released this week by the STAATUS-Index, 26% of respondents could not name a single famous or prominent Asian American. Among those named, the two most popular for three years in a row were Jackie Chan (who is not American) and Bruce Lee (who died 50 years ago).
