Well the parallel is obvious. You are asking why Asian people don't get top billing in America, over other racial groups of American people, in America.

What? He's asking why Asians are given a bad light in American media, not why they aren't dominating Hollywood. And I dont know why you bolded Asianand American as if to seperate them like they cant coexist.

 

[laced up jordans]

Would it be possible to have a discussion on racism between Asians and other minorities (i.e African Americans, Latinos)?

OR

Is NT too childish for that?

Asia and America (North) are too different continents, are they not? It's not about coexisting. It's about the obviousness that everythingin America would be biased towards Americans, because they are from America and that this phenomenom is not exclusive to America.

To my fellow asian, don't worry asian stars will be coming to the US soon. If you didn't know the Korean pop sensation known as Rain will be starringin a Wachowski Brothers film. This is the same dude that rejected Megan Fox's request for a night out in the city.

There is that other Korean dude named Daniel Henney who is starring in an American drama on NBC right now.

Excuse me for the !#$$ pics.

I don't think we can to be honest. I think of myself as very understanding of other races and the forms of racism they have to overcome. And Imany times find stuff Asians people complain about to be trivia, or not that big a deal.

And I know many people think the same way. For exmaple this thread, complainingabout Hollywood portraying Asians poorly like "fresh off the boat" stereotype I can understand, but complaining why Hollywood has not pushed out aAsian sex symbol to me is trivial. And knowing how blacks are portrayed in the Asian media kinda makes me not really give a %!*@ even more

. Sorry, but that's how I feel.

Do you really wanna know the answer? It's $$$$$$$. Stay with me on this. America is roughly 70% white, so numerically speaking, caucasian is thedominant race of this country. Think of it like this: Why arent't there many white/black actors in films produced out of Asia? Because they are tryingto appeal to the market available to them. It's just pure numbers: roughly 70% white, 15%hispanic, 12% black, 1% Asian, etc... From a business standpoint, would you market to the 70% or the 1%...which customers are you trying to make happy?

As far as the stereotypes are concerned, yes they are there in hollywood and no i dont agree with them.

But fat, bald, white people in hollywood arent exactly sex symbols either fam. Do you want the fat, bald, white people to start casting stones as to why theydont have a sex symbol?

[joe camel smooth]

seems pretty offensive to equate asian americans with fat, bald, white people in terms of eligibility as hollywood sex symbols.

No what im saying is do you think Asian Americans dont exist? You keep seperating them like American is a race.

Little over 4%.

Did I compare? I threw out another type of person who gets zero love in hollywood. It was an extreme example to get my point across.

While white and black Americans, whom the OP assumes get more respect in American media, make up around 80% Seems pretty obvious which groupHollywood would attempt to cater to most.

Similarly, if a black person where to go to Asia, he'd be asking the same question and again it'd be a stupid one

[rothypejc]

an Asian actor's perspective fwiw

http://www.asiaarts.ucla....ticle.asp?parentid=52373

Now, I'm a little older, I've worked within the studio system, and I realize, it's nothing personal. It's about economics.
The best advice I ever got was from a Jewish American agent, and he said, "Look Sung, I don't care what color you are. If you can make me money, you could be blue. It doesn't matter. You don't have to speak one word of English. If you can make money for us, you're going to be put into movies." And a lot of people point fingers at the actors and say how could you take this role, but Asian Americans need to step back and take a look at themselves. Besides the educated filmgoer, the general public doesn't care about Asian Americans. They're not going to go out to buy a ticket because there are Asian American actors or an Asian American director. Paramount showed us this chart: Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics. And we asked them, where's the yellow part? And they said there is none, because Asians consume like Caucasians. You guys buy, you dress, you read and you're educated like white people. There's no demand for it.

When Better Luck Tomorrow was released, less than 5% of the ticket sales were from Asian Americans. So we also go, maybe it's because of lack of content. And there has been. Slowly though, [as with] Tokyo Drift and The Motel. I've realized that with the younger generation, there is this demand for someone to identify with. So I think there is positive change. But you can talk or argue, and you end up going in circles.

 

[liljrdn]

All minorities face adversity..you gotta live with it.

This is exactly the type of mentality that keeps minorities down. This is not the way life is supposed to be, it would have been sad if Martin Luther King orCesar Chavez along with their thousands of followers had the same mentality as you. I can already picture it..."Oh, black people are getting discriminatedbut hey, we're minorities and that's how life is so we just have to accept it" or "Well, latinos working in the fields are being takenadvantage by owners but hey, we're minorities and we should just suck it up..." My point is that if we come to accept that it is okay for a minorityto be mistreated, then we already lost the battle

You've never been questioned, nor have you been given the "stank eye" for using the N word simply because you associate with ignorant blackpeople/people in general--point black. And as the old saying goes--"birds of the same feather flock together"...so guess what that makes you.

You would never get away with saying the N word around me or my friends. Why--because "N" is an accursed word toward the entire black diaspora andout of self respect for myself and ourselves, we would never allow someone like you, or any one for that matter, to use that word in such a blithe anddisregarding manner.

Any person with a sliver of intelligence, and an ounce of historical curiosity, could tell you that the N word has ALWAYS BEEN a negative term used to addressblack people. That said, any person--inherent and/or extrinsic to the black community--who uses that term knowing quite well, the history of that particularword, and the efforts made by previous generations of blacks to dissociate from that very word, is nothing short of disrespectful and callous.

This thread looked like it could have had potential but your brash stupidity, OP, proved to be too much.
