[quote=Coronita]American film industry already makes enough jokes about asian men and do a pretty good job objectifying asian women to perpetrate a persistent stigma of “yellow fever”….Case in point… Just about every americanized version of a Asian ish themed old story always casts a traditional asian male role with a white guy but keeps the asian female…go figure….which is precisely why dont like and respect the american film industry and people who are part of it no matter how much money is in involved in the american film industry…unless of course its a hostile takeover of an american film company by an far east asia conglomerate…which then there is possible hope of changing this otherwise persistent problematic image of asians in american film industry….because slthough majority of smerocan film industry is in liberal Hollywood. American film industry is inheritently racist, misogynist, and a dirty industry ..less respectful imho than the porn industry which at least is honest about what they do. Go chinese bootlegging of American films… Fvck Hollywood.
so.. Id rather be part of a more positive movement for which contributes to asian americans being taken more seriously. maybe one day , after all these asian hate crimes, more asian americans will finally get it , what some of us have known and been saying all along …so we dont get kicked around moving further (equally both from the left and the right.)
I’m with you on the Hollywood portrayal of Asians…but when that starts to change, when Asians get laughs controlling the narrative, it’s good for all Asians. I think Ronnie chieng could be the start. Or maybe it was Ken jeong. Or Aziz Ansari …tho he’s Indian.
Have u seen chiengs Netflix special. It’s pretty great.
