Who cares about stereotypes. I think alot of asian stereotypes are funny. If you want a lead role go get it! Work at it, you cant expect to get Brad Pitt type roles acting like a fucking geek. BE A MAN!

[TakeOutEntertainment]

True, true, but Hollywood and audiences/viewers like yourself has not accept the fact that Asians actor can play the masculine roles, and are not given the opportunity to play them without the stereotypical background. In other words they try but are denied. Which is why audiences and US films need to change their ways. It's going to be a while to see that.

Jet Li and Jackie Chan?

I was totally expecting there at least 1 stupid ass that will say that.

Jet Li and Jackie Chan are NOT fucking Asian AMERICANS. John Cho is and so is Bobby, but not fucking Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

@MrDebashishMohanty You obviously haven't been around a lot of Asians.

Nice video but I wish people would stop with the Dragonball thing. First of all the saiyans are not asian they are saiyans. Second they don't to look asian, just look at Roshi.

I personally think asian guys are cute. My friends don't really understand why though. They think all asians are bookworms and are weak and shy.

@Kiahsobyk yeah yeah superman is an alien man, he should be played by an Asian with Blue eye contacts It looks just like how he should be....

Tall yao ming looking guy with Blue eye contact so perfect for the role

@TakeOutEntertainment How can asian males play masculine roles? They have high pitched voices, almost no facial hair (a trait attributed to masculanity), small hands (like a 14 year old boy's), and mostly bones and no muslce (unless they take steroids off course), and most of all, short stature. Now, can this realy protect the hot girls as they have in the James Bond films. Wake Up!!!

@TakeOutEntertainment

As a 1/4 Yamato Man with VERY thin eyes on such a big, blond, goateed bod. does it ever seem like all the shit ordinary "nice" white guys wish they could be they end up projecting on to Asian American Men. Like the Martial Arts and Math/Science skill just 'cause its like movie stars/rockstars no shit its un-realistic, whereas what I mentioned probably seems attainable, but just "out of reach". Like they wanna be everything "we" are on the inside, xcept look like us.
