These videos encompass all my feelings about how the media portrays Asian American men. I don't understand what we did to deserve such treatment from the media. I don't feel I could relate to any Asian American actors in the American mass media because they are either foreign computer geeks, or action heroes such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li. I don't know how to hack computers and I don't know kung fu, so where are the Asian American actors that are respresenting Asian Americans males like me? The only two I can remotely relate to are John Cho from Harold and Kumar, and Leonardo Nam from "The Perfect Score", and that's only because they both smoke weed.
