Why are Asian Men always portrayed as asexual or geeky?

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.

I don't know the answer but your username is GREAT!!!

In Japanese anime, Americans are portrayed as either wussies (who need the Japanese to save them) or sex freaks.... or homosexual. Explain that.

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.

I, an asian, am tired of this Hollywood crap stereotype us as asexual and geeky people.

 

[purepolly]

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

 

[purepolly]

oops... Geeky Asians :thumbsup:

 

[FleshLight]

I'm Asian and I could care less whether hollywood portrays "us" as Adonis or Asexual

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.

Harold and Kumar?

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?

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

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.

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

penis size education :Q

Here are some movies where Asian Males portrayed as the leading role:

A Bridge to the Sun (1961) - I saw this a few years ago on AMC...it must have been real contreversial at the time. It's real good and depicts Japanese/American relations before/during/and after WWII

The Crow (1994) - Brandon Lee's last movie

Dragon, The Bruce Lee Story (1993)

The Last Emperor (1987)

All of these were exceptional films :thumbsup:
