I thought they were supposed to name ASIAN AMERICAN Actors?
Zhang Ziyi, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Ken Watanabe, Jet Li and Bruce Lee are NOT Americans...
Asian American actors: Lucy Liu, Sandra Oh (Canadian), Rick Yune, John Cho, Anna May Wong, Kal Penn. There aren't many representatives of Asian Americans in the Western media.
there alot of asian actors, not just in america but in china, japan, korea, thailand, its just asians dont give a shit about america, but other countries like africa(blcak people in america), mexico(like hispanics), their countries suck and cant make movies for shit, thats why they come to america to be actors, asian countries dont need america, they can make their own shit
The bigger issue is how Asians hate each other....
Some may claim Jackie Chan as Chinese, but others might say he's "Cantonese" lol. Then you have the Taiwanese vs Chinese, Filipinos - Asian or Pacific Islander, Korean vs Japanese vs Chinese, the list goes on....
Lucy Liu, Sandra Oh, Daniel Dae Kim and Bruce Lee are American actors.
Zang Ze Ye, and Ken Watanabe are not Asian American. They are foreign nationals working in Hollywood.
Jackie Chan is not a citizen of the U.S. In fact, he has put down Asian Americans as not being Asian enough. He's criticized Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans who "can't speak their own language." Nice guy, huh?
@SiciliansRule I'm not sure of what his exact words are, but I agree with Jackie Chan that it is a shame that most Asian-Americans can't speak their own language. It's a part of our culture and it's a lot harder to communicate with family without it.
@Hanako3144 So would you criticize Robert Deniro for not speaking Italian or John Stamos for not speaking Greek. How about criticizing Nick Nolte for not speaking German. If you're an American, you're an American and your identity should be American. I don't care if you're of Irish, Polish, Japanese, or Nigerian ancestry. So Jackie Chan is out of line.
@Hanako3144 Well not every Asian-American is raised in a predominanty "Asian" culture. Their "own" and native language is English, because it's the national language spoken in the country. MOST ASian-Americans do not attend schools trying to learn Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Thai OVER English.
@SiciliansRule Jackie Chan is just a an actor who doesn't really know much beyond that. He's alreay pissed off a bunch of people saying that China is not ready for a democracy and need to be controlled lol.
Harold from Harold and Kumar? Ahahahahahahahahaha~ Yea..he is the least chinkiest from them all. I guess Hollywood izzz trying. Margaret Cho keeps it fucking real tho. LMFAO...that white guy witt the cow nose ring in the end. Ahahahahhahahahahhahaha hahahahahahahhahahahah ahahahahahahhaahaha~ Gotta Luuuuv IT~!!!
The red headed guy...."Im Sorry" LMFAO. Why do you have to be sorry? Just say you don't fuckin no anybody because you don't really care. Keep it fucking reaL. And fuck Bruce Lee. Is he like the Asian Martin Luther King?
The colors of the American Flag should be changed to Red, White, Black, Brown, and Yellow. Representing the colors of all races combined. Red is the color of the blood pumping through all our American Veins.
Why is it that you hardly ever see asians on television. Talk about being a minority right. Yea...being black is beautiful and being white your blessed but wtf~ being asian we don't even exist??? Who the hells wants to see an asian being interviewed right? WTF seriously~ and whenever we do appear on television, it's al...ways a FOB speaking with a funny ass accent. It's not just a black and white nation.
@clever625 Being black is beautiful? to who? that's clearly subjective. A lot of the Black females in themainstream industry are usually mixed or more on the light side.
I'm not Indian, but why don't Indian-American actors and actresses count? India's part of Asia too. Moreover, some of the ones mentioned, such as Jet Li & Zhang Ziyi, were not even Americans; they were just Asians acting in Americans films.
Its run by Jews; it is owned by Jews, and they should have a greater sensitivity about the issue — of people who are suffering. Because they’ve exploited — we have seen the — chink, we’ve seen the slit-eyed dangerous Jap, we have seen the wily Filipino, we’ve seen everything but we never saw the kike. Because they know perfectly well, that is where you draw the wagons around."
@cobus556 the jews are fustrated with asians because they know they are the most powerful race in the entire world, they know asians are smarter than them and they can not control them like stupid ass white people, hispanics and dumbshit blacks. they know in order to rule the entire world they must bring down asia, but thats never gona happen because asia is way to powerful, they can rule the asians
Jackie chan isn't asian american, neither is jet li, nor chow yun fat , nor zhang ziyi. get your facts right please before influencing others of thinking the wrong thing.
fuck hollywood there racist they make asian's and black's look bad in every movie they can put us in they always have pretty white person to save us in every movie
What you insight is a deep hatred, misunderstanding, or fear toward someone's sexual preference with that last question you just asked. That much is known.
This was a stupid question. Especially considering the answers. Most of the actors and actresses they called out arent even American, just Lucy Liu. And the actors and actresses that actually are Asian American might as well be invalid since very little of them dont look Asian.
Rob Schneider, Lou Diamond Phillips, Tia Carrere, Dean Devlin, Lucy Liu,Kal Penn, Trini Kwan, Pat Morita, Brandon Lee, Margaret Cho,Tamlyn Tomita, Anna Maria Perez de Taglé, Ernie Reyes, Jr.,Cris Judd, Marie Matiko, Vanessa Hudgens, Lea Salonga , Ming-Na Wen,Joan Chen ,Mark Dacascos, Jason Scott Lee, Leyna Nguyen, AND MANY MORE...
I'll count filipino as asian, but no, rob schnieder doesn't count cause hes not an actor, hes just in movies about stupid stuff and says stupid lines to make stupid people laugh.
But Chow Yun Fat, Jakie Chan and Zhang ZiYi aren't Americans. They're from the 'mainland' i think. Asian Americans actors: Lucy Liu Sandra Oh Bruce Lee John Cho Daniel Henney Maggie Q Daniel Wu Daniel Dae-Kim Kal Penn Kelly Hu Roger Fan Aaron Yu Masi Oka Sendhil Ramamurthy ( Wong Fu Productions
most of the actors mentioned weren't even american...aside from lucy liu, kal pen, john cho most of the names mentioned were canadian (kreuk. oh) and majority were from asian countries such as india, china, etc
I thought the question was to name ASIAN-AMERICAN Actors?!
The only right answer was Lucy Liu who is Chinese-American.
Sandra Oh is Korean-Canadian.
Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and Chow Yun-Fat are Chinese from Hong Kong.
Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and Jet Li are Chinese from Mainland China.
Ken Watanabe are Japanese from Japan.
I can name a few Asian-American actors... Russell Wong, Maggie Q, Devon Aoki, Kelly Hu, Keanu Reeves, James Hong, George Takei, Jennifer Tilly, Ming-Na...
I am surprised more people didn't mention: Pat Morita (Happy Days, Karate Kid) and George Takei (Star Trek and Heroes), Masi Oka (Heroes) and of course Brandon and Jason Lee.
Bruce Lee, Margaret Cho, B.D. Wong, Masi Oka, Daniel Dae Kim, John Cho, Aaron Yoo, Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa, Devon Aoki, Dante Basco and his siblings, Johnny Yong Bosch (Power Rangers!), Vanessa Hudgens (she count?), Dean Cain (he count?), Tamlyn Tomita, Rick Yune, Rosalind Chao, Karin Anna Cheung, Mark Dacascos, Sung Kang, Roger Fan, Parry Shen, Kelly Hu, Ming-Na Wen, Clyde Kusatsu, Pat Morita!!!, Jason Scott Lee, Michelle Krusiec, Bobby Lee, Tzi Ma, Mako, Yuji Okumoto, Dustin Nguyen... whew!
I made these series of videos to show the how little people knew of Asian American history. The fact that even Asian- Americans don't know their own history is telling, it says that we have become too Americanized
have we? well some of us don't give a damn about American television. Especially since none of them have strong roles in movies. I can name 50-100+ HK China or Taiwanese actors no problem. Does that make me too Americanized? USA born and raised.
That is true, just because Asian-Americans can't name people in the media or entertainment industry in the US doesn't mean they are Americanized...that means they simply just don't follow that type of entertainment.
In fact, Asian-Americans not being able to identity other Asian-Americans in the media to me means more they are not Americanized .
Not necessarily. It just means that a lot of people don't really watch TV or follow American entertainment.
It's like people who don't really follow sports probably can't name any of the Asians. It doesn't mean they are Americanized, it just simply means they don't follow sports.
@ravenkid999 Well...more like too White-centric, right? If lacking knowledge of AA history makes one Americanized, does having it make one Unamericanized? Make sense?
@ravenkid999 i think this video also put a pressing issue of lack of presence of Asian Americans in cinema despite the high occupancy in the country on the table. Props from an aspiring film maker. : )
That's right, I forgot about her, I had the hots for her back then. haha, jk, but I do remember it was cool having an Asian-American on TV, even if it was Power Rangers. :) Even though there are some I can name, Asian-Americans are seriously underrepresented in American entertainment. I only need to look at how they avoided putting Asian-Americans into lead roles in Last Airbender, 21, and Dragonball to make my case.
Oh yeah Kristin Kreuk is Canadian and Chow yun fat isnt american either as far as I know. So Lucy Lu and John Cho are it. (And the guy from Lost and the guy from Heroes).
thats right, damn american media is racist..barely any asian actors/actresses out there, and if there is they have to know martial arts..racist fuckers
"Umm i think they're talking about asian actors who are in american-made films. =/"
No, they are asking about Asian American actors (as seen in the title of the video and in the numerous times they ask the question). The thing is, people either can't think of any, can only think of one or two, or end up naming Asian actors that are not American.
dump!! fucks chow yun fat, jacky chan, Zhang Zi Yi, jet li, are not AMERICAN there chinese!!!Bruce lees not american!! they call him american now because his a legand worldwide!! hong kong is asians hollywood!!!were asian can can make it, not rascied hollywood!!!
Chow Yun Fat?! Zhang Zi Yi?! THEY'RE NOT EVEN AMERICAN!! They're from CHINA!! Not AMERICA!! Motherfuckers can't even get they're facts straight!! Jackie Chan and Jet Li don't count either. STUPID!
Most of the people picked on here are so dumb and white washed like for example when the white guy was asked if he knew about Jackie Chan he hesitated for a while and then he knew. But didn't know any one else like Lucy Liu for example. And some of the Asian people here are also pretty dumb and white washed too.

There's that guy from disturbia, and 21. bobby lee is funny, but he can't play the stereotypic asian all the time. He needs to get serious. Asian american actors get the shaft all the time. It will take time, another 20, 30 years before they become mainstream. Hollywood needs to wake up if they want to succeed.
i don't get why they mention chow young fat, jackie chan, jet li- they are not asian americans, just because they appeared in american martial arts films does not make them asian americans. btw, sandra oh is canadian
The famous Asian actors in USA are from China: Jakie Chan, Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi, but asian-american actors are not famous.
-----i know the reason, that's made by white racists against asian-american in USA. They don't use handsome and nice asian-american actors for their films.
You're missing a lot of people. Michael Paul Chan, Ming Na Wen, Tamlyn Tomita, John Cho, Sammo Hung. The list goes on.

"Umm i think they're talking about asian actors who are in american-made films. =/"
No, they are asking about Asian American actors (as seen in the title of the video and in the numerous times they ask the question). The thing is, people either can't think of any, can only think of one or two, or end up naming Asian actors that are not American.
This was the obvious point of the survey.

Most of the people picked on here are so dumb and white washed like for example when the white guy was asked if he knew about Jackie Chan he hesitated for a while and then he knew. But didn't know any one else like Lucy Liu for example. And some of the Asian people here are also pretty dumb and white washed too.

Then that'll break the Asian sterotypes in Hollywood and I will be picked by one of these people. Just Kidding. LOL!

There's that guy from disturbia, and 21. bobby lee is funny, but he can't play the stereotypic asian all the time. He needs to get serious. Asian american actors get the shaft all the time. It will take time, another 20, 30 years before they become mainstream. Hollywood needs to wake up if they want to succeed.

i don't get why they mention chow young fat, jackie chan, jet li- they are not asian americans, just because they appeared in american martial arts films does not make them asian americans. btw, sandra oh is canadian

Lack of representation. aka not enough asians want to be actors in USA.
I was in theatre for 4 years, and going in & out of studios 80 % white 19 Percent Black or spanish. and always one asain guy.
or girl.
Same with auditions too. so unless that changes nothings going to happen.

fuck that shit, its cause producers dont want to invest in ppl of asian descent, talk to any actor and actress in hollywood
maybe they could start by getting rid of the shittyass roles that they have laid out for asians where you speak like a fob
i dont know eher you live but where i live theres too many freakin asians competing for roles

Beside racism reason, another reasons are Asian-Americans' population and culture and Stereotypes .
Their population is not bigger than black's.
and culture ... u know.

Although i'm in asia, but i know some nice Asian-american actors, mostly korean-american:
John Cho(the main actor in "Off Center", "Harold&Kumar"),
Lee Will Yun(in"Bionic Woman"),
===the two guys are really nice actors.
Daniel Dea Kim & Yunjin Kim in "Lost",
sandra oh. kelly hu.
----------------
Dean Cain(japanese grandfather) in old Superman "..&Clark"...
maybe Apolo Ohno will be another actor.

Because Asians in asia can grow up freely without racism, so we have Jakie Chian, Jet Li, Zhang,...(i'm in Mainland China)
If Jakie Chan, Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi are born in USA, they had won't be so famous.
Not only actors, but also directors and NBA players.
The famous Asian directors are from China : Ang Lee, John Woo.
The Asian players in NBA are both from China: YAO and Yi, but none Asian-american player.

This is very interesting thing. Let me tell u:
The famous Asian actors in USA are from China: Jakie Chan, Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi, but asian-american actors are not famous.
-----i know the reason, that's made by white racists against asian-american in USA. They don't use handsome and nice asian-american actors for their films.
