Is the annoying stereotypical "asian" music in the background necessary?

Hollywood is much more friendly toward Asian Females than it is toward Asian Males. They always include AM when they need an asexual nerd/geek stereotype.

@Pinkstonnaked Keanu Reeves is Chinese, Hawaiian and English. Dean Cain is Japanese, French Canadian, Irish and Welsh. Chad Michael Murray is Scottish, Japanese and American.

Way to just assume that all of their Asian ancestry is Chinese.

@Pinkstonnaked Dean who? Chad who?

there are as many asian american actors respected in Hollywood as there are asian MALE porn stars in the America....

Asian males seem to have better roles to me, though... it seems they are usually martial arts Yakuza or Triads in movies these days. With those few exceptions which we all know and love.

Hollywood Jews can go to hell, Brando was right. Fuk those Jews.
