DL: Ken Jeong joins Crazy Rich Asians [CRASN] May 12, 08:22
wow after like 5000 actors whove joined, we finally get one who actually has a starbond {nm} May 12, 08:25
MYEOH. That speaks to the lack of quality roles for Asian-Am actors. May 12, 08:31
Pretty sure they get all the roles in their native countries. {nm} May 12, 08:42
Asian-Am are Americans, not native Chinese, Koreans... working in those countries. {nm} May 12, 08:46
Pretty sure in Asian dominant countries they get all the roles. Asians r about 5% of U.S. population {nm} May 12, 08:43
Asian-Am are not even getting 5% of the lead roles in studio films. {nm} May 12, 08:50
Maybe they should try harder then. Leave it to you to always point out racism where none exists {nm} May 12, 09:09
They're not even considered for those roles. The privilege is institutionalized. {nm} May 12, 09:20
How many Americans get quality roles within Asian studio companies? 5%? Institutionalized Asian privilege there? {nm} May 12, 10:17
There are 110,000 Americans in China, which / 1.37 B is 0.00008% May 12, 10:40
just off top of head: bale, rudd, cusack, willis, damon, have had leading roles in chinese films {nm} May 12, 10:51
JKNOX, ABROD {nm} May 12, 10:54
Are these financial decisions made by the Asian studios? {nm} May 12, 11:20
Maybe they are not going to draw the box office desired, and that could be for many reasons including profits. {nm} May 12, 14:26
Sure, which means a lack of quality roles for Asian-American actors. {nm} May 12, 14:45
White actors without box office draw are cast over and over again. {nm} May 12, 15:28
his TV show was canceled yesterday. {nm} May 12, 08:32
(it was just the daily casting news for movies with no-names (Who?") are kinda annoying) {nm} May 12, 09:16
Gemma Chan, Jimmy Yang and Awkwafina aren't no names. {nm} May 12, 09:21
"Awkwafina" shouldn't be name at all {nm} May 12, 09:51
I have no idea who they are so they are no-names to me. {nm} May 12, 13:32
Gemma is the lead star of Human. Jimmy is on Silicon Valley. {nm} May 12, 15:25
Haven't heard of the Human show, haven't watched more than a few minutes of Silicon Valley {nm} May 13, 00:05
and still no Greta Lee {nm} May 12, 09:38
