Meet The Real 21 Dude

[kaziabir1]

wow I'm not even Asian and what 21 did was fucked up..big time...fucking racist country. I'm ashamed.

[200800mclaren]

WOOOO! 9,999th view :)

[Clap4TheMoment]

When portraying a charater does him/her being a different race in this day and age take that much away from them?

[CambridgeHeights]

Bullshit it's dead-on. He probably had to say that as part of his contract. The movie completely misrepresented card counting.

[HaloedG]

Fuck Hollywood.

[GosekkkkK]

@HaloedG why, because they make so much fuckin bank? get over it

[Kaiserks3338]

Asian FTW!

[chelscita15]

Aaron Yoo and Liza Lapira, the two asians, were so underused and unappreciated in 21, while Sturgess and Bosworth had a lot more screen time.

WORLDClTlZEN and the rest of you that seem to think that the guy the film was based on should realy check your facts the guy the movie is based on is jeff ma (the guy being interviewed he was one of ther players in the M.I.T black jack team) there is also a book about the M.I.T black jack team called bringing down the house any way the guy on the vid apers in a cameo role playing a dealer called jeff at one of the casinos where fisher try to cause shit

[savemejeebas]

Eh, no, he is Asian. Check your facts

[WORLDClTlZEN]

The real 21 dude is white not asian. This is bull shit! The real black jack smart guy is WHITE! not asian! Asians can't play black jack weirdos! This guys is just another blackjack player wannabe loser!

[TaichiBreaker]

They only Make Leader White in the MOVIE 21 because they dont wanna make AMERICA look bad itself.

[Kovari3]

umm yea stfu im asian and i could play black jack much better than u so shut the fuck up! and CHANGE UR NAME after wat u just said ur being rebelious to urself....u sterio typical bastard

[millettenunez]

it is amusing to see the word ignorance thrown around so freely. What is also interesting, but sad, is how oblivious we are as a culture. Racist or not, there was a change in the cast. Instead of just talking sh!t to each other, why not have a discussion about it? What happened to communication and backing up arguments with facts?

[BIGGOODBOY]

what does he mean at end, we dont win anymore, we automatically win or we loose. does he mean like the game changed, how?

[13radz]

i think he means he rember how to count cards but he nolonger has basic strategy memmorised (its a tale thats been worked out using math and statistics if you count cards and use basic tratergy i think you get a 71% advantage over the house) but you realy do need to have it memorised

[macfreak21]

And hollywood isn't racist. They're like the biggest liberals out there.

[nightslayer11]

I hate it when people used the fucked up logic that "You noticed racism, so you're racist!"

Plain and simple, Hollywood changed the races of the characters that matter in order to appeal to whites. You and ghost don't see the racism because most mainstream movies do this to make it more popular for viewers like you or ghost; to many, it has become an 'accepted' part of hollywood.

[macfreak21]

So you call it racism??? I wouldn't call it racism. Thats marketing, and maybe they particularly wanted to use the british guy for some other reason other then his race. I'm sure there are plenty of movies that white guys were portrayed as another race just because the actor was better for the role.

[Ghost1702]

I like how ALL of you douchebags think Hollywood is racist because what? OH NO A WHITE MAN PORTRAYING AN ASIAN! You guys are all a bunch of retards. It's actually quite amusing to see all of you rant on because of something so stupid.

[macfreak21]

right on! Thank you! I couldn't of said it better. It pisses me off to see such dumb nasty comments about racism in this movie. They're racist because they noticed the difference. You and me don't care what race the guy is.

[nightslayer11]

Because you obviously are the better man calling everyone a douchebag and a retard.

BTW, its less a white man portraying an asian man than a white man replacing an asian man.

[lordwilinski]

fuck hollywood, asians shouldve been in the movie, but they wanted more money

[KingUCLA]

It makes me sick to my stomach that asians are put on the back of the bus by suits in companies who are racist. I cant believe Jeff Ma's story was thrown away to a cast of non asians who had no idea what life as an Asian MIT student,( who used his racial identity to outplay the casinos),meant to the author's orginal theme . Goodness, God help us.

[darockk]

haha man how does Jeff Ma explain to his kids that the guy playing him in the movie is "that white guy"

[tazo157]

Jim Sturgess plays the best Asian. LOL Hollywood is racist.

[TWN321]

@tazo157 That's Right!!! We have TOM CRUISE starring in a movie called "the last SAMURAI", then we have "the MEXICAN" starring BRAD PITT, and here you have some blonde haired, blue eyed, aussie boy portraing JEFF MA?? The only Asian guy in the movie was some goofy chocolate stealing comic relief. I'm black but I hate negative/inaccurate cultural representations of any group! Fuck Hollywood!

[WORLDClTlZEN]

Fucking Hollywood motherfuckers! Hollywood you are one fucking racist bastards! Assholes! I am sick of these racist movies. Do not watch their stupid new 21 movie!

[mykalroze]

And, once again, the main actor in the movie 21 looks nothing like him. Can't have an Asian-American lead actor in a Hollywood movie. Typical Hollywood racism. Give opportunities to Asian Americans. Hollywood seems to think they can just put black in stereotypical roles and that covers their "minority quotient." Well, we have some non-white people in movies, we're free of guilt...
