"crash" the van that ludacris stole was filled with illegal asian immigrants. the owner of the van was ran over by ludacris.
this topic shows a point that our society hasn't gone far in terms of social equality and that is reflected in the movies.
and its not just asian its black, latino, middle eastern.

Im white...if it matters....Im tired of all racial stereotypes in hollywood or in everyday life.

And to defend myself a litle, I dont like how white people are petrayed as dumb ignorant stuck up pig-headed people who see things as a one way street.

Ahh yes but he did passionately kiss Claire Forlani in 'The Medallion'. Kissed Rosalyn Sanchez at the end of 'Rush Hour 2'
Jet Li was married to a Caucasian woman in 'The One'. Pretty much "got" the Bridget Fonda character at the end of 'Kiss of the Dragon' (after saving that character's daughter I think its pretty much implied he "got" her)

I agree with you about the idiotic stereotypes. I'm South Asian (half Indian) and I won

over here, white ppl think asians are sissies and geeks, guess hollywood played its part in the whole racial sterotype thing.

In the past, solid asian roles were hard to come by, but that is changing all the time.
Lost TV show: Jin
The Last Samuri (white guy learns about true honor from Asian)
The Last Emperor
Any american movie with Chow Yun fat
Jet Li (often takes on currupt white guys)
Brandon Lee (1/2 asian)

There are many more. Plain and simple, there is a deficit of good asian roles, but the situation is gettin better. What about the fact that whenever a minority movie comes out, the white characters are either (1) racist (2) bafoons (3) wannabes.... lame.
