After all, as you said, it took the better part of a century to get African Americans to where they are socially in society. While my own post here not do much on it's own, it's still one more voice than not. \. i thought i'd just chime in on this. imo it's because black people are seen as american. even if the actor is jamaican, british, haitian, etc, any random person on the street will assume that a black guy is an american until they start speaking in an obviously non-american accent. also, you'd never hear a corporate executive in hollywood say "well, go back to africa then" if black people complained about there not being enough black people in cinema (though that probably happened on a regular basis 50 years ago!) however, most random people on the street will assume than an asian is non-american and will generally complement you on how great your english is and ask you where you're from and give you blank looks when you say "from san jose" or something. asians probably won't be seen as "american" for a long time, if ever. | ||

I don't want to burst ur bubble but have ur ever heard of single to double asian eyelid surgery; she is had it by the way; let me phrase it in your language since you like youtube (which shows the full spectrum of surgeries): + Show Spoiler + I just attribute it to a greater need or ability of adaptation to the predominant aesthetic trends. I am pretty sure that if the world media was dominated by say, polar bears, some Japanese would be trying to look like polar bears. I also know of some Japanese that do their best to look and act black too since the world wide rise of hip-hop/rap. + Show Spoiler + | ||

Problem is man, it's like criticizing Nepalese movies for their portrayal of Caucasians or not using enough white Caucasian actors. China and other Asian nations need to start raising the bar in their own movie making and do it they way they prefer to be portrayed. Do you understand what I am getting at? I would love to see more decent films come of China, Korea and Japan. This is gradually happening and hopefully the future will bring more. So patience, little grasshopper : ) - + Show Spoiler + pun intended | ||

It's not that I dont like Asians or something, I sometimes I eat chicken at the local restaurant, but seriously, guys, I dont remember a single interesting thing you have made. Even in broodwar - iccup was made by non-korean players, nearly all the map making tools were made by non-asian players, damn even the only person who did not behave like a wooden doll in front of the camera is the infamous australian Wink-Toss... *Maybe that movie by Akira Kurosawa wasnt that bad, but it was made on the basis of Shakespear; I also enjoyed "master of the flying guilotine" and sorta enjoyed "story of ricky" **most characters in anime are white XD ***I cannot eat them, because they make me sick btw. All the recommended Korean movies I have seen were damn awful; maybe it's just me, but I like some plot not: "nothing happening for 2/3 of the film so I can fast forward the sights of a city/river/etc. and wait for the 2minutes of graphic violence, which is then followed with more static sights of a city". Seriously that spring, summer, autumn, winter movie is the best example... | ||

Acting is all about expressing emotions and in many Asian cultures one is taught from an early age in life not to show emotions publicly... maybe that has something to do with it. Probably not, just an opinion to your question. Maybe the fact that masks and mask like make-up were very important in traditional acting in countries like Japan and China is telling too. | ||

Plus hollywood is afraid of portraying another race that compete with the dominance of whites, especially now that black's are coming stronger and stronger. Those are some fairly strong claims. I actually disagree with most of that and would like to see some citations. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.superiorpics.com/pictures2/Maggie_Q_JS62115.jpg) And I see this sucking big time like the Street Fighter 4 were Chun-Li was a freaking Caucasian.. Give it up OP, all Fighting games that turn to movies suck (even mortal kombat imho) With regards to Hollywood not getting any Asian-Male Actors for a lead role.. Who cares? The dude from The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift has his share of moments.. Anyway, lets just wait for another 10 to 20 years and maybe some Asian Dude will have an establish acting career.. I also forgot, we had a Movie about the Battle of Bataan were the Co-Star is our very own Cesar Montano and I had my panties in a bunch "AT FUCKING LAST, FILIPINO's Unite" but the movie suck so bad that I started sleeping in the cinema.. I don't know about you, but race doesn't really matter much when it comes to movies.. as long as it doesn't suck I'm happy about it.. | ||
