I cannot recall the last movie where an Asian man is portrayed as a character with real depth. <BR><BR>If you take Last Samurai for example, it was nice that the movie portrayed the Japanese characters as a noble, spirtual people. You can even say that the men were masculine since they kicked some ass with their sword fighting ability, but there was no character development even with that Kasamoto guy who was Tom Cruise's co star. All he did with spew senseless philosophical cliches like Chow Yun Fat did in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.<BR><BR>And that is my rant.

Go download the uncensored ones 🙂 there are plenty..
The thing is, in japan, most guy pr0n stars are the ugliest guys that can't get any chicks who go into the industry.
In US, only the pretty decent looking guys with the biggest cocks are allowed in the industry.
 
My last SO was a major league geeky Indian (CMU grad) - great guy, steaming hot in bed, yet he always seem to view himself as somehow less than a caucasion.

Geeky Asians

I think most asian men are too insecure so they have to complain about stuff like this.<BR><BR>You don't see me complaining because Jews are generally portrayed as docile people or that Cubans are usually associated with Scarface.

I never saw Jews portrayed as docile, just greedy, etc. Even though that is a horrible stereotype. I'm not inferring (sp?) anything, just saying. DON'T KILL ME! 😀

Hypocritical, no? This just seems to imply that geeky/super-smart stereotype? Should we label you as total asshats too? No, that wouldn't be fair, because then you would complain then turn around and act like an asshat.

Wait, wait, wait. You live in NJ, unless you're here illegally, wouldn't you be an American? So didn't you just insult yourself too?

What you're presenting is a stereotype in Japanese culture, not an argument against the OP's statement. It's a logical fallacy. Basically, you're dodging the question.

Asian Men aren't charasmatic enough. By nature most are timid-geek or not.

Not by nature. Asian cultures tend to promote modesty and humility over outspokenness and independence.
