What current images of Asian-American men do you find on television and in the movies?

What current images of Asian-American men do you find on television and in the movies? Are they positive, negative, stereotyped or realistic?What current images of Asian-American men do you find on television and in the movies?Foreigners. They are mostly portrayed as foriegn people that speak english poorly. Also martial artists at least half of the asian dudes on tv and movies are doing kung fu. I'm not sure how realistic the portrayal is since the only asian people i know sound and act american. That is something you really never see with dudes here.



oh yeah for example my buddy told me that Jin from Lost speaks perfect english in real life and speaks really bad korean on the show because he doesn't know the language well in real life. and also his asian amercian accent is real phony. hell even i could tell that.What current images of Asian-American men do you find on television and in the movies?I have seen some in Lost, Heroes, Hawaii 5-0, and the Green Hornet. Most of them are portrayed as non -english speakers from Asia rather than Asian Americans. It is greatly stereotyped, especially their names. ex: chin ho from Hawaii 5-0What current images of Asian-American men do you find on television and in the movies?On TV, usually cops or tech guys who don't get promoted! Negative stereotyping. Here in Vancouver the chief of police is Chinese.
