notice how there are no asian lead actors or actress? if they are in a movie or tv show. they are a side character or playing a role that screams Asian.

You never see an asian playing a normal starring role and their asian ness is never brought up or part of the story.

and blacks complained when they went 2 years in a row with out an oscar nomination.

Society especially Western society deem Asians unattractive and weak and Asian's agree.

Outside of the kink for subservient chink women for your run of the mill beta there's no market for Asians.

I watched a Japanese, a Chinese, and a Korean movie all last week.

That's what asian movies are for matte. China has a fucking huge industry and japan does alright.

> they are a side character or playing a role that screams Asian.
>their asian ness is never brought up or part of the story.

So, it's wrong if the character acts asian and it's wrong if the character doesn't act asian?

Doesn't really matter though... representation doesn't need to be accurate, it's fiction not politics. Characters are meant to be plausible for plot purposes if anything, which means playing it to the audience expectations.

Not every asian knows martial arts, not every latino is a poor pariah that says esse, not every gay will go around preaching about pride, not every middle east woman covers her face and carries bombs, not every black raps and not every American looks fit...

Now, are stereotypes and archetypes bad? if you are doing politics yeah, sure... if you are doing a work of fiction it's ok.

> blacks complained when they went 2 years in a row with out an oscar nomination.

Should the academy award them an oscar just for being black? I mean Idris Elba is a terrific actor but Will Smith is decent at best and overall mediocre.
I could agree that if it's a great movie and the acting is great being black shouldn't be an issue but pushing a diversity agenda and handing awards just so the academy doesn't look racist or homophobic or whatever it's bullshit.

I wanna know how true this is, it sounds interesting.
>>
>>82282723
Probably because asians are an insignificant minority in America.

Want asians in lead roles? Watch chinese or japanese cinema. Or do you also watch chinese movies and complain about the lack of eskimos?
>>
Asians make up like 5% of the US, it kinda makes sense they aren't in many leading roles.

Honestly, I'm more surprised why there aren't more hispanics in leading roles and why the hispanics don't complain about it.
>>
>>82282723
thing that pisses me off is that most hollywood asians are ugly as fuck. I see 100s of hot asian women in my city constantly, why can't they cast someone that isn't Lucy Lu tier.

Then why isn't anything done? They go to the movies the most don't they. Maybe their just chill and dgaf. What do I know I live in NZ.
>>
>>82289112

Because of different cultural values. There are simply less asians who want to get into acting in the first place, so the ones that can be found are going to be less outstanding on average. The larger the pool of candidates is, the further up the attractiveness curve you can keep everyone. The smaller the pool of candidates is, the more you have to just take what you can get.
>>
>>82289190
what about railroad asians?
>>
>>82289266
I honestly feel like there's so many reasons for it, its not just one thing but a dozen different things that lead to less asian representation in Hollywood. The /pol/ reasons are honestly probably one of the more minor ones, asian masculinity or femininity isn't something that even crosses most peoples minds I'm sure.
>>
>>82289376
>asian masculinity or femininity isn't something that even crosses most peoples minds I'm sure.

I agree. I just think it's that most asians come from fairly traditional households that prioritize education, career, and family, so they're just less likely to be interested in acting and "trying to make it big" simply because they're not raised with those values.
>>
>>82289125
You're referring to mob movies? That's because the people who make those movies are guys like Coppola and Scorsese who are italian, and you write what you know.

By that same logic, you should be askins american asians why they're not directing movies about asians. Not taking it up with everyone else, as if it's our duty to make sure asians get their special snowflake movies and roles handed to them.

Of course, I don't actually think asians give a fuck about that. They're generally not very petty. This is just a small handful bitching and moaning, I suppose. They're not like niggers who are constantly bix nodding and asking for more representation handed to them.
>>

About the fact hispanics make up like 15% or something of the US, go to the movies a lot but don't get much representation. I keep hearing about muh black/asian representation in Hollywood but never hispanic. It's weird the one with the biggest involvement is making the fewest sounds.

Simple jews run hollywood, jews know asians are smart successful and hardworking and can easily take over if more of them are given role of power in the film industry. Just like in the past the jews did with the whites in that they all pretended to have white names even though they were jewish so they could get roles or jobs in hollywood. Only difference is asians can't just blend in with a name change and slowly take over the industry. Personally I feel asians are seen as a threat and are hard to control than blacks and hispanics in hollywood which is why jews don't show favor to them. I mean come on the asians aren't that attractive meme was the single stupidest marketing excuse I ever heard. This is coming from a black guy who basically sees hollywood for what it is. Another thing all those so called racebaiting white hollywood bullshit that was going on during the oscars was a bunch of bullshit, these people are actors for a reason as if they don't know that they are really losing out to a jew most of the time.

No, there are like 2 or 3 good black actors who can actually sell tickets as a lead in a movie. There's not a single asian who can do that that unless it's a martial arts movie and even those have been done to death. There's no Asian Denzel Washingtons.
>>
It's not the job of hollywood to include a race just because it's a race that isn't very well represented. That is tokenism,which is inherently racist.

Casting roles is a serious business. There is a lot of money invested in movies- not only is it a financial gamble, but it will take years before the investment can ever begin to show returns. popular actors tend to secure leading roles because of the positive effects that having a celebrities name attached to the project will bring. When hundreds of millions of dollars happens to be on the line there isn't much room racial inclusion simply or the sake of social justice.

You only really see undiscovered actors in a leading role if the movie itself can be successful on its own merits.
