| I disagree. I can name 10 Black American actors and actresses that have leading roles in movies and TV. I can barely think of 3 Asian American actors in leading roles. And the ones that do act are often forced to do an accent, despite being fluent in English. Asians are routinely discriminated against in sports: "“He lit up our model,” said [the Rockets GM, Daryl] Morey. “Our model said take him with, like, the 15th pick in the draft.” The objective measurement of Jeremy Lin didn’t square with what the experts saw when they watched him play; a not terribly athletic Asian kid. Morey hadn’t completely trusted his model - and so had chickened out and not drafted Lin." [1] Asians are also seen as perpetual foreigners. Look at all the falsely accused Asian scientists like Wen Ho Lee, Bo Jiang, Sherry Chen, and Xiaoxing Xi. Or the current FBI director saying we need to be careful of all Chinese people. [2] It should also be noted that the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Japanese Internment were the only times the US had policies against specific races. 1. https://www.netsdaily.com/2017/3/14/14925994/morey-bias-play... 2. http://www.businessinsider.com/china-threat-to-america-fbi-d... |
