Proof that racism against asian males is greater than against black males now. If you watch the media (movies, tv, commercials, etc), black males are now playing roles like, President, Good Guys, Leaders, Romantic male lead with white girls, successful and rich business men, etc. But for some reason the Asian male is still casted and branded as: the bad guy, evil, psycho, sinister, with a 3rd world accent, only knows kung fu, or as a nerd, unromantic, and bad fathers, or as a comedian. If you go to Asia, you'll see a completely different picture. The Asian male there is the sexiest and most idolized person. Successful, strong, sweet, romantic, good looking, great fathers, rich, hip etc. I think North America needs to stop being racist towards asian males in the media and start showing the truth, that they are good guys, very successful, and believe it or not, lots of really tall, athletic asian males. It would be the same as always playing commercials or movies of black guys who are nothing but crack addicts, convicts, and sex addicts who get young girls pregnant irresponsibly and become deadbeat dads.

It's because Asians are now a official sterotype of Asia :O

To the same extent I have yet to see an Asian movie with anything but an Asian cast.

See there's a difference though; a lot of people hate black people compared to the amount of people who don't really care about Asian people.
