James started off his speech by saying, “I got my SAG card 70 years ago. My first movie was with Clark Gable. But back in those days, I have to tell you this, the leading role was played by [white] guys with their eyes taped up…because the producers said the Asians were not good enough. And they were not box office. But look at us now!”
