Kristina Wong (黄君儀) is an American comedian known primarily for her work as a solo theater performer, performance artist, and actor. She identifies as a feminist and her work often tackles themes regarding race, sex, and privilege, often in conjunction with the Asian-American experience, through a satirical lens. She currently serves as an elected representative of the Wilshire Center Sub-district 5 Koreatown Neighborhood Council in Los Angeles. Wong was born in San Francisco to an accountant mother and insurance salesman father. She is a third-generation Chinese American. Her grandmother immigrated to the United States from Guang Mei Cun, a village near Kaiping county, in the 1930s. Wong attended an all girls Catholic high school, where she took speech class. Wong attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). For her senior project, she created “Big Bad Chinese Mama”, a fake mail-order bride website to tackle fetishization of Asian women by white males. The site was advertised in fetish chat rooms, next to masseuse ads in the local newspaper, and optimized in search engines to return alongside searches for Asian porn. It featured biographies of real Asian women accompanied by photographs of them in fighting poses and abrasive language critiquing the viewer's potential search for mail order brides. She graduated in 2000 with double degrees in English and World Arts and Cultures and a minor in Asian American Studies. She later returned as a commencement speaker for the UCLA English Department in 2008 and UCLA's student-initiated Asian Pacific Islander graduation (APIG) in 2014, the latter included a bit about re-defining sex appeal of Asian American men.
