The thing I dont get with asians is. They hate being stereotyped... but when they see other asians being themselves and taking on the western general culture they label them as "white washed" ignorance is a big bliss for those people.
As a mixed-race Asian American, I am as disturbed by the ignorance of the Asian community as racism from other races. Part of this comes from the new Asian immigrants who are highly race-sensitive. Stereotypes in Asia are 10x worse than in the US.
Yet the one race that perpetuates the Asian typecasting are the Jews. They run most of Hollywood & have always known that crude stereotypes can yield certain profits. And with America increasingly media oriented, it is media that has responsibility.
@petenrita ......what....the...fuck. I'm Jewish(well half actually) and what the hell are you talking about? Not all of Hollywood is run by Jews, just like not all self defense places are run by Asians. But thanks for approaching bigotry with your own bigotry.
@Volf99, No bigotry when there are facts. This set of videos is wrt the crude stereotyping of Asians in film. Same goes for decades of stereotyping of Blacks, Latinos, Indians, Native Americans and Arabs. While Jews do not run all of Hollywood (I never said as much), they do dominate the lists of major studio owners, producers, and directors & have nearly since inception. It is pathetic to point otherwise. When it is time to make the call, Asians are stereotyped & Jews sanctified. Indefensible!
A very muddled message. There are Asian themes and Asian American themes. There is racism and ignorance. There is self-isolation and imposed distance. There is typecasting and pride. There is political self-segregation and there is being locked out.
As the Asian community itself evolves, much of the next couple of decades, Asian Americans will need to continue to evolve its own understanding of itself.
There are very few stereotypes in America about Asians. However, there are countless stereotypes about white people in America, despite the fact that the majority of Americans are white. Considering the very negative stereotypes about black people and Mexicans, Asians really have nothing to complain about. Knowledge of martial arts is a GOOD thing, and requires lots of training and discipline; if Asian people are thought to know martial arts, it makes them less likely to be attacked.
Superficiality; hypocrisy; uptightness; shallowness; greed; cowardice; pedophilia; and many more.
Asians are seen as smart, disciplined, skillful, and hard workers. There are some negative stereotypes about Asians, but none of them come anywhere near the kind of stereotypes about whites, blacks, Mexicans, and other non-Asians.
@KhagarBalugrak The Asian community is just so highly race-sensitive and arrogant it's disgusting. They complain that they are misrepresented in the media all the time yet their easiest form of comedy comes from mocking blacks using the same ignorance they hate seeing pointed at themselves as I've seen. Of all forigners, asians have the most positive stereotypes yet are guillible enough to believe in all the negative ones about other races first. Their two-faced culture is why I feel no pity
I'll admit that Asians are somewhat put into a box and dehumanized in America, though. Then again, so are all working class people, farmers, liberals, environmentalists, protesters, etc. The only people who aren't ridiculed in America are the super-rich and the corporate leaders, who are busy looting the public treasury and instigating wars while people like us argue about much more trivial things over Youtube.
Furthermore every german speaking person isn't Arnie, every Russian isn't a commie etc. Hollywood uses stereotypes but in those films used as examples the discrimination is used to portray ignorance. I think Hollywood is keeping up with the times.
Being a minority means these problems can't be avoided. In Asia white people are all english speaking sexually promiscuous Americans. It isn't that America is ignorant it is the world's people can't know everything about everyone and their background.
I work in Taipei a lot as a chemist. Although you do have some white people who go there cause they prefer asian women to white women, mostly it is Taiwanese women who hunt down white men. Many American born chinese often come here for sexual exploitation too.
actually this is the nature of man. Women love guys with money, and guys try to make money to impress women. So going to a country where you are comparatively rich like east europe, africa or south east asia for mate selection is smart way to eliminate competition.
Thank you for your comment. Im glad that there are people out there who see things the way they really are. I hope you were able to watch all three parts.

That is because they are. Whites go to Asia to live out their sexual exploit upon poor population.
