I would really love to know what current Asian actors you do have respect for? Is there any that you think has not sold out? UNless you have already done a video for that then you can direct me there.

[Tenchijk]

@Prodaga84 U know honestly, my views on that changed... I started to realize how hard it must have been for them to be in that position in the first place. With media being unfair as it is, how hard it must have been to even score that role. I started to feel really stupid for downing my own , I was truly a moron. But, that doesn't mean I think it is a good role.. I honestly still feel most of them have very shiddy roles, but the actors themselves should be commended.

@Artamasia92 they backed out cause they didn't have enough funds... But i'm in film school, learning how to direct.. so i can make the movie myself ^_^

I can't say I know exactly how you feel on the subject of your role model but what about Donnie yen? ( I'm not trying to be funny) He's actually pretty badass. I do however agree that I don't get into Jackie Chan movies and others like I do when watching a movie with Bruce Lee or Donnie yen. I guess actors have gotten pretty watered down in our time. That goes for Black actors too. It is a bit irritating.

@ExcusemewhileIkissU I love donnie yen, he is an amazing martial artist, I loved him in Ip man. He was very real in that movie.

i love u too , i think what you said about bruce lee right look through history at all the top ethnic leaders they have assassinated , to critic your vedio you voice is really clear and you speak very expressively - you can carry emotion in ur voice .

Hey bro, you got Jeremy Lin now. XD Now's the best time for change in history because the spotlight has shifted.

I guess I'm subscribing to yet another youtuber. I really like your laid back attitude. I've never really been into asian men but you my friend are sexy with a side of cool. Get out there and show hollywood that asian men deserve to be taken seriously. Best of luck

@DaniaOMGWania hollywood can suck it

[BlasianChineseBoy]

Money talks unfortunately, which is why guys like Bobby Lee, Ken Jeong settled for those roles instead of demanding more from Hollywood. If that were me however, I would have declined, because at the end of the day I cannot be bought, money isn't everything at the end of the day, despite the fact we have to live off it. After what you said about the whole Bruce Lee thing, I totally understand now why he was murdered. Thats just f*cked up.

Seriously this video is really the truth & my feelings on this topic. I can really because just as a black female, there's really no black female lead in a mainstream Hollywood movie. If it is, it's a film whose target audience are Black people... It just really bothers me so much so I can relate to how you feel. Being in a similar field (animation) I know it can change (I lack so much confidence) & as long as you are willing to take action, it really can change. You do have my support~
