Partner Track lead Arden Cho talks about the discrimination she&#039;s faced as an Asian-American woman and how she stood up for it.

Arden Cho and ‘Partner Track’ Is an Empowering Match for the Asian Actor to Channel Her Voice in the Netflix Legal Drama

Arden Cho, who plays a lawyer on the show Partner Track, comes from a background
of Korean ethnicity. She plays Ingrid Yun (Cho), a tenacious senior associate in
a famous New York City law firm, and is the protagonist of the show. She has
dedicated her whole 20s to becoming a partner while overcoming racism, sexism,
and other challenges in her drive to shatter the glass barrier. As a
Korean-American woman working in the entertainment business, Cho has had her
fair share of unfair competition and outright discrimination.



She tells Netflix’s Tudum
[https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/partner-track-arden-cho-interview] that
there are decades of experience of being the sole minority in the room or being
Asian. Being an Asian who is living in America, she has experienced pure
discrimination and microaggressions. Well, so does her character on the show,
but that is primarily because of her working in a male-dominated industry.


PARTNER TRACK SHOWS WOMEN AND ASIAN EMPOWERMENT

Arden Cho

says that her character in the show resembles so much of her personality, just
like Ingrid Cho has learned to speak out. She is someone who balances keeping
her head down and calling things out. Cho said that there had been so many times
in her life when she wished to have said something, but she was afraid and
believed that was okay. She believes that most individuals have experienced
times when they wish they had spoken out or wanted to speak up but were too
afraid.

Adding further, she said, “I’m not beating myself up about it, but I am saying
when it happens again or in the future, I think I’ve grown to be a woman who’s a
bit more unafraid, who’s going to be unapologetic and say, ‘Yeah, no, we’re not
going to be OK with that.'”
