We’re in the home stretch with #AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth and we’re switching it up from the action stars and focusing on a trio of #aapi characters who provided a ton a laughs, Mateo, Sandra, and Cheyenne from @nbcsuperstore! Superstore was something that came out of left field for me. In a time when I just wasn’t really watching network shows, Superstore came out of nowhere with a remarkably relatable energy and sense of humor that was undeniably appealing. Boasting a hugely diverse cast, the show was unlike anything else. It was a farce, but one that was entirely grounded in reality, showing the absurdities of working in retail in a hilarious and human way. But the show also addressed a lot of of serious topics including the Mateo’s (@nicosantos) drama as an undocumented Filipino immigrant (there was even an ICE raid at the store), and the challenges of dealing with the pandemic in retail in the final season. But through it all, in heavy moments and light, these three provided a ton of laughs. Mateo and Cheyenne (@nicholesakura) had an amazing relationship full of snark and whimsy and colorful fashion, and Sandra (@kalikokauahi) was constantly stealing scenes with her unassuming and subtle humor (Sandra very quickly became my favorite character). And they all had their chances to shine on screen, they weren’t simply one-note side characters. They were all given room to breathe and grow and it was just fun to watch! #apahm #aapiheritagemonth #supertstore #nbcstuperstore #superstoremateo #superstoresandra #superstorecheyenne #mateoandcheyenne #sandrakaluiokalani #mateoliwanag #cheyennelee #cloud9 #cloud9superstore #zephra #asianhollywood #asiansontv #aapitv #superstorefanart #fanart #digitalart #artistssupport_feature #artshoutout_gallery #yourartsupporter #das_4u #lovesupportartists (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPa_hqAjfFq/?utm_medium=tumblr
