HERE’S an understatement: It isn’t easy being an Asian-American actor in
Hollywood. Despite some progress made on the small screen — thanks, “Fresh
Off the Boat”! — a majority of roles that are offered to Asian-Americans
are limited to stereotypes that wouldn’t look out of place in an ’80s John
Hughes comedy.
Emma Stone in “Aloha” (2015). After criticism, the film’s writer and
director, Cameron Crowe, apologized for casting Ms. Stone in the role of
Allison Ng, who is described in the film as a quarter Chinese and a quarter
Hawaiian.

发帖数: 38600 | 3 The other side of this is the "model minority" stereotype, which contributes
to the bamboo ceiling in every industry: Asians just love to work and make
great team players, they don't need promotions or pay raises like European
Americans do to stay motivated (gag). Notice how blatantly the directors and
producers you quoted blame Asian American actors; would they so freely
blame African American actors?
Thank you for exposing the reality of racism in U.S. cinema - a reflection
of and contributor to the racism we see everywhere. I'm very happy to avoid
these films in the theater and stream them from non-pay websites at home, if
I watch them at all. |

发帖数: 38600 | 4 OK it's an issue for a white person to play an Asian. But when we replace
white roles with black people we praise that??? Next we will have male roles
replaced with females. We aren't far from that sort of ridiculous redoric.

发帖数: 38600 | 5 The problem is more nuanced than racist Hollywood casting practices. This is
just the symptom of Yellow Peril that continues to exist throughout the
post colonial, Euro-centric world. And this mindset is facilitated by Asians
themselves due to a total lack of mobilized response. If the Asian
community was as organized as the NAACP, or The Anti-defamation League, or
the LGBTs, or AIPAC, this continued marginalization of the Asian experience
would be much harder to execute. Unfortunately, the Confucian DNA within the
Asian culture leads to a tendency to keep your head down and don't make
waves. Until that changes, Asians will always be the low hanging fruit. |
