Greg, where are you? TVB dramas aren't the same without you! You're one of my favourite TVB actors. I miss seeing you play Gwailo roles in TVB dramas.

AH!!! the classic Japanese enka "北酒場"!!!

Its a common misconception by people like you who think Asian American are viewing asian actors as useless sellout.
White people or Asian North American actors are much viewed in the same way in Asia.
Also, Asian American is a large group. Not all Asian Americans viewed Asians as negative. Only the ignorants and stupids of those groups do.
-
Second, if you dont know about Asian Americans, minority of them regard themselves as part of white people group instead of Asians. For the fact they think just because they live in North America and can speak english, they regard themselves as upper societal class when clearly other white people just look at them as simply Asians.
Also, your argument works backwards. Do you think people in Asia care about the attitudes of the "high mighty" Asian americans?
-
As far as your argument goes, you have not given it a thorough thought.
Have you ever consider the amount of Asian Americans consider asian actors as sellout?? You are only giving a general conclusion which is highly flawed.
-
That argument of yours is as useless as it is. Gregory is famous is only because he is one of the fewest white guy in asian film industries.
The same can be said about Jackie Chan or Jet Lee.
Asian Americans consider Jackie Chan useless? What are you trying to portray?? Wasnt the original comment about white people and Asians not Asians Americans.
Dont trial or try to drag the argument in a different direction.
I know several Asian North Americans myself and they dont detest Jackie Chan.
-
Just so you know Asian Americans not Asians consider Jackie Chan as useless sellout who only knows how to spread "Kung Fu" limiting roles for Asian American actors. Jackie Chan's gains come at the price of spreading countless stereotypes. At least Gregory Rivers gets portrayed positively in HK and gets put in normal roles, the same can't be said for roles Asian American characters get. As far as I'm concerned Jackie Chan can't hold a candle to John Cho.

Its you lolaw who havnt noticed the changing tides.
Jackie Chan all in all in his career in hollywood has brought more money and popularity out of hollywood more than a whole bunch of white actors.
Even if you say hollywood is using asian people as tools for profit, arent we all using one another to gain benefits?
Go home kid and use that brain of yours. You definitely fail in logic class.
-
I dont think white people is stupid enough to throw away money when the oppurtunity is there in front of them.
Lastly, your argument fails.
If you say asian people are viewed in a negative manner, so is white people viewed in a negative manner in Asia. Just because few white person in HK like Gregory is successful in chinese flim, the number is equal compared to those of asians in North America.
Your agurment fails to even make a logic sense.
-
Withou asian people, Hollywood wont survive if they want their movies to be popular in asia without the knowledge from choreographers or asian actors. Second, Asians arent portrayed in a negative manner. Anyone in North America who wishes to earn lots of money will always do business with Chinese.
Only ignorants like you, racist, and uneducated people in North America will give negative view about Chinese.
Wow Gregory, your really rock!!
