#if hes not just the money guy

I just watched the 8 episodes of Leverage: Redemption, and though I love the crew, I was not especially thrilled to learn that as an Asian American I can be a new money casino mogul, a sycophantic programmer who is willing to sell out nerd-dom for his high school jock friend to like him, or a socially awkward programmer with no sense of the dangers of privacy invasions.  Woo hoo so many options to choose from!

You know what I would have liked?  To have Harry Wilson be Asian American.  Someone who worked his way up the corporate ladder, sticking to traditional definitions of success, never wanting to cause a ruckus because his parents said that’s the way to succeed in America, and then one day all of his crimes were too much and he decides to steal a Rembrandt.   That’d be nice, wouldn’t it?  An Asian American character who gets to have his own character arc and moral complexity.
