Maybe it's time the white man cuts the bullshit and give Asian actors a fair shot instead of whitewashing any and every Asian character.
The only authority on this subject is keeanu reeves.
I bet he doesn't give a shit.
Dominic Williams
I just want more hatred to be spread toward whites.
Austin Turner
The rejection of Asians in Hollywood goes all the way back to the exact moment Hollywood became jewish.
Benjamin Turner
Thats because hollywood understands even asians want the BWC

Nooo Not Jin from lost :( Aziz Anzari is a fag though

Go to China. Their movies are full of Asians

>people start to realize Asians are the only minority group (Indians are iffy, depends on their religion) that can actually function along side white people in society >all of a sudden media starts trying to play asians and whites against each other like they've been doing with blacks and hispanics
hmm.. really makes you think
Camden King
Thats's like going to bollywood and demanding they cast more white actors. Adaptations are not meant to follow source material step by step. That's why they are adaptations. If you really don't like it then don't give them your money. Look what happened to ghostbusters; now they'll never genderbend a franchise again.
Lucas Gonzalez
> light Yagami played by a white guy
But chinese cartoon characters always look "white". The Asian looking ones all look extremely conspicuously asian, to the point of being caricatures.
Jonathan Parker
why not "asian-americans" simply repatriate themselves to asia where they can view predominately asian actors in media?
I simply have no appetite for the grievances of these professional whiners.
Anthony Gomez
>not enough Asians in Lord of the Rings Thank God, at least whites can have that trilogy without pointless diversity quotas.
Tyler Miller
Asians are parasites. They'll gravitate to where the wealth and power is. They never are nor ever will be allies to whites.
Zachary White

Anthony Cook

Angel Fisher
Exactly.
I love how non-whites go to white countries and then complain about there being too many whites everywhere. Like, fuck off with that shit.
Go to where you're the racial majority and problem solved.
Brandon Green
It's a shop

Asians bitching and moaning really pisses me the fuck off.
They are pretty much guests in our nation but run their mouths about too many of us being around?
FUCK THEM

Seriously, its computer generated type on a white board.

What the fuck, off the top of my head they have three prime time shows, Hawaii Five-O, Fresh Off the Boat, and Dr. Ken

Hollywood white washes Asian things to make it more palatable for American audiences. Why didn't they bitch over the horrible adaption of All You Need Is Kill? Fucking Tom Cruise why?
Thomas Anderson

Where did it all go so wrong?
Chase Morales
jewish media telling asians to be mad at whites because jewish hollywood wont hire them. When wil this madness end?

Oh look.
The Jews are finding another way to blame us for their slimy behavior.
Dylan Gray

I'm all for diversity, user, but I don't know if the Jews will allow it.
Tyler Wood
>Asian-American Actors Are Fighting for Visibility. they could just stand on a box
>Maybe it's time the black man cuts the bullshit and give Asian actors a fair shot instead of stealing any and all roles from every Asian actor.
Fixed that for you. Us members of the nigger community also has to stop trying desperately to desexualize the asian male by always harping that asian men have the smallest penises in the world.
Oliver Walker
I really liked Man of Tai Chi
Jordan Kelly
I bet L will be white too so they'll have to leave out the part with him calling Misa a white woman. Honestly, if HollyJew could still do blackface they'd cast 12 Years a Slave with an all white cast.
Brandon Myers
I bet the Inuits tell you the same thing, whitey.

>Mr. Kim has wielded his Twitter account to point to dire statistics and boost Asian-American creators. Last year, he posted a cheeky tribute to “the only Asian face” he could find in the entire “Lord of the Rings” series, a woman who “appears for a glorious three seconds.” No Asians in a high fantasy medieval Europe setting? good. That shows a little goddamn sense.

Wow, almost half the examples are genuinely complaint worthy. must be some kinda fucking SJW record.
Justin Scott
Go make movies in Asia then you faggots god fucking damn
Gabriel Jenkins
Yeah, i liked Jin too !
John Scott
I saw it on netflix, it's a fun movie, I hope he does more. Wish they could make money on fun movies. I'm tired of capeshit.
James Williams
That's because to Asian audiences he's a filthy halfbreed piggu
Jeremiah Parker
the number of asians getting roles is about equal to their % of population. so are blacks and whites.
the only group that gets significantly less is hispanic
>but they aren't getting the important roles
the biggest, headlining roles are determined by the public because that's what they are willing to pay for. hollywood doesn't control the viewing opinion of 300 million people.
Henry Wright
Well, if any minority has "got" to be pushed, I'd rather it be asians than blacks.
I'd rather this whole "issue" be dismissed altogether. However if I were pigeonholed into on of these two situations, I'd rather live in a world where screentime is shared between asians and whites than whites and niggers.
Hudson Hill
Why don't they just become actors in Asia? I'm confused.
Or in the case of Star Wars Episode 7 the jew director decides who gets the role by race, like JJ 'Discriminating against whites is not racist' Abrams.
Brandon Mitchell
LOL why isn't jew on this pie chart when it accounts for nearly all of that 73% Fuck off kike get gassed
Hudson Mitchell
I really don't understand these complaints. Minorities should not expect to be in as many roles as the majority race. It's not racist, it's just numbers. How many Asian-American actors are there compared to white actors? How many GOOD Asian-American actors are there? It's easy for these actors to get overlooked if they are greatly outnumbered by good white actors.
Another question I would ask is if they have some of the same "racist" ideals as black actors. I know some stupid shit comes up sometimes in hiring black people for non-black roles. Like the women being unwilling to relax their hair.
Sebastian Gray
Underrated
Hudson Adams
They kind of have a point though. How many Asians do you see in any roles that don't involve them being some sort of nerd or martial arts master or an extra? Darkies are all over the entertainment industry but Asians don't exist outside of stereotype roles. I kind of wish there were more roles for them, but they can't blame this on white people. White people dont control those industries, those are all Hebrews.
Ian Reyes
>fighting for visibility >good actors these chinks need 2 git gud.
Connor Baker
Excellent list of hollywood films you've got there.
Xavier Torres
Only thing I give a shit about is that Hollywood is making a live action adaptation of Death Note.
Hope that shit is good.
Oliver Reed
Hospital dramas.
You always see whites, asians, a single black guy, and not a single mexican in sight.
Simply put, Mexicans are less visible than asians while being a much larger part of the population.
Cooper Morgan
>star in major national movies and TV shows >"they will not be ignored" fuck off, you're already famous you dickheads.

Hollywood is a Jew-infested shithole and means nothing. If you want visibility, you don't dickride Jews.
You know better than this being on Sup Forums.
Easton Miller

Lucas Reed
Arguable. There have been several really prominent Mexican performers in American entertainment, like George Lopez and so on. And we're not even touching on the subject of all the Spanish language stuff in the US, Univision and so on.
Liam James
not even azns wanna see azns act. if they sold tickets, theyd get cast
Connor Baker
kek, most artists suck at drawing chinks. You literally have to draw slit eyes and get the bone structure right.
Alexander King
He also has an extremely successful career. He worked in the fucking white house.
What's his problem? Does he think he can go from goofy comedic lead to super handsome A-lister with serious roles?

Bentley Sanders
I care, it's art. Don't ruin our art.
Nathaniel Cruz
I'm not sure if hispanics being visible in "latino shows" counts as visibility.
Part of the reasons asians don't get depicted is that there will be massive butthurt if a Chinese plays a Japanese, or a Korean plays a Thai.
David Phillips
Not like Asia really needs the west to make super heroes for them. Japan, China, Idonesia, and now Korea make more than enough super heroes.
In fact, Amazon just announced that they are bringing Japan's Kamen Rider Amazons from JP Amazon Prime to western Amazon Prime, among other shows. It's kind of funny to read about that, then this, and then the comments in this thread.
>Asian-Americans have to "rally" to get more gigs >Meanwhile their Asian-born cousins work hard on limited budgets to make Asian media
And now in this case Toei's work pays off and they are given another chance at bringing Kamen Rider officially to the west not just in name but now in its entirety (no adaptation shenanigans). I mean it's not blockbusters level of success, but it's a more respectable victory that didn't rely on shitty western liberals to prop them up. They did their own thing which sparked interest in the right people.
Lucas Howard
meanwhile in reality you never hear jackie chan bitch, he could never get a leading role in a hollywood drama so he swallowed that pill and became an action movie legend. now, as an 61 he stars in serious roles in movies made for the chinese audience. do you hear him whine because "white people" need to take his acting seriously? no, because he is not a little bitch
Asher Martin

Jordan Campbell
What do they want? Hollywood makes films to make funny. If you put an asian as a lead role other than a ninja or samurai, white america isn't gonna be interested.
The only successful Asian films in America are goofy kung fu movies, and they're not always successful, very rarely.
Michael Stewart

Do they care that in the Jap live action Attack on Titan movie every european was played by an asian?
>Eren Jaeger >Gookiest of gooks
Mason Smith
They should probably use diversity they have at hand, since they promote it, but you know Jews, they like to give Jews all the roles. A lot of films could be much better with an actor that actually looks like the character in the story. Good, bad or whatever actors, what matters is overall production and monies.
Gabriel Sanders
No they would just say "Well whites get all the other roles anyways, so having an Asian play a white person's role is perfectly fine"
Adam Smith
None of those in OP's picture are pure Asians, it's really disappointing that those are the ones complaining.
Eli Jackson
Asian Americans are literally the most whiny minority group with the least justification.
"WAAAAHHHHH, SOMEBODY ASKED WHAT I COUNTRY I CAME FROM!!!" WAHHHH!!!"
Why the fuck do Asians go from being the most based race to the least based race once they immigrate to North America?
Owen Thompson
Because minorities in the west love to play the oppression Olympics. And when Asians find out they're actually living a better life than even white people, they have to find the most obscure harmless thing to cry about.
I had a college classmate who did her whole final about when a guy walked up to her and said "Ni hao" because he thought she was a Chinese exchange student.
