I talked about "yellowface" asking questions if it was right? Was it racist? Isn't a good actor or actress judged by how well they can portray other people? What if you are trying to create "celebrities" (basically "brand names" and franchises) for your industry and exploit a market? Is it OK then? Back then many Asians didn't go see films basically...and Hollywood "panders" (panda-ers?) to its audiences...that's its business....So on and so forth...Then I had the clips from the Turner Documentary to work with to give examples of modern Chinese- American actresses and actors..I had them notice how the the actresses portrayed themselves as "themselves"....France Nuyen's blonde hair....The cleavage...I told them how George Takei is homosexual..Could you tell?....and then listen to what these "representatives" were saying....(I couldn't get the audio track aligned with the lips..and I even was able to use that as a kind of stereotype of Karate films...That was just the way it worked out)....Then I had "Dragon Seed" and asked a bit about Chinese actors portraying Japanese DURING the time the Japanese had occupied China..Were they traitors?...What about Mexicans portraying Chinese? Which is more "Racist" or offensive? Then I showed the scene from that film and explained having the Anglo actors portray wise forefathers made the upper classes of America sympathize with and support the Chinese because they saw the Chinese struggle as their own...Thus the Americans sent money and supplies for the Chinese struggle and swayed public and political sentiment...BUT IN THE SAME FILM YOU HAD CHINESE ACTORS PLAYING RUTHLESS JAPANESE?
