Yea, looking at the list of "Computer Graphics Pioneers" on wikipedia, Mandelbrot and maybe Carmack are the only two I'd think would be recognized by the broader public, and Carmack is the only one I personally could tell you any biographical details about.

I don't think there's any reason to think Bùi's obscurity is due to any particular prejudice against Asian Americans.

I guarantee you I could ask any member of my family, including my wife, if they've heard of Mandelbrot or John Carmack, and they'd say "no".

This is indeed a bit forced.
