You mean any main character can run indefinitely and if they are cops, they can beat down ANY drug dealer. Come off the retarded "omb! everyone hates Hispanics!"

The Mexican part is not true at all. In fact, it's "any hispanic looking bad-guy is Puerto Rican or Venazualan."

And, you'll be hard pressed to find any "gangsta" without tattoos.

Incorrect.

I have yet to see someone originally from China play someone with an accent that's supposed to be from Japan. On top of this, you'll never see a Russian play a Chinese person. You'll never see an Indian play a Thai, and so on.

Usually what you see is someone that is from chinese origins in some way (Hong Kong, Taiwan, China), they will play characters from any of those locations.

charlie sheen..... Freddy prince jr...... (Ricky)Raviv ullman(jewish but still changed his name b/c it was too ethnic)....

umm... i grew in East L.A. as a kid and i can tell you we all didnt run around with bar codes on our necks and tear drops on our face.... nor did we all shave our heads... the goal was to not look suspicious and have a small tat maybe on ur hand or somewhere you could cover. we also didnt all speak like with a mexican accent when we were born in US and spoke english.

i meant american asian actors play various asian roles without actually being that race parring the most obvious ones like russians, or hindi.

for example ernie reyes jr played a hispanic columbian or amazonian fighter in the movie with the rock in the rundown.

What do you mean with this?

If you're from China, you will not be cast as a person (in a serious role) that has a japanese accent.

The only time I've ever seen something even remotely like that happen was that one old asian dude (he was Chinese, or something) cast as a Japanese gangsta dice roller (literally) in a skit on Chappelle's show. Dave did that for comedic effect, though. Hearing an old Chinese guy say, "konichiwa, b*tches" is quite hilarious.

None of that is relevant to what I said.

That's so rediculously non-sequitor that my head almost exploded.

You just tried to prove that asians play asians from countries they are not originally from by saying AMERICAN asian actors play asian roles with an exammple of an ASIAN actor playing a HISPANIC role?

Good job. You're on drugs.

However, Reyes is filipino...so that's like...dividing by zero and ending up with a Hispanic Asian.

ricky ullman was on the disney show and is only in his early 20's. less then a decade maybe 5 yrs...

also you got me i guess Japanese and Chinese actors arent interchangeable in movies like in the movie War and yakuza and triad gangsters

Dirty knees, look at these.

Cause he's obviously Hispanic, right?

You actually have to make sense.

Cause extras are DEFINTELY considered leading actors, take large roles, etc. etc. etc.

Good job.

Nah. It's just that he is always whining about "Hispanic this" and "Hispanic that." It gets old.

He tried to justify his position that Hispanic actors are constantly changing their Hispanic sounding names to something American by providing...get this...an example of Israeli name change. facepalm

I think basically the whole cast of Memoirs of a Geisha was Chinese.

It was a mixture of Japanese, Hong Kong (chinese), and Korean (and probably others.) One of the criticisms of the film was the casting.

Just the same as casting a someone from Ukraine for a Russian or pretty much any eastern European roll: The idiot american audience can't tell the difference in appearance.

I don't think it's a big deal, really.

But it was.

Things went as far as Xhyai (or however the eff you spell her name) getting a verbal lashing from the Chinese. It was serious business.

i was messing with you 😛

i was using ricky ullman to and disney executives decision to support my argument.

stating they had his name change b/c it sounded "to ethnic" it didnt matter that he was jewish. i was the one who pointed it out before i used him as an example. 😒

I'm sorry, but it makes no sense to justify your position that Hispanic actors are constantly changing their Hispanic sounding names to something American sounding by providing an example of an Israeli name change.

We were talking about Hispanics getting the Hollywood shaft, not Jews.

i had also pointed out charlie sheen and freddy prince jr..

😐

either way we are done here this is the wrong forum to discuss this and it is pointless you simply started this to try and start something with me by ur own admission.

And I clearly pointed out your decades old fallacy with that, as well. You are supposed to be contradicing my point that, these days, it's become popular or even admirable to be a Hispanic actor with an obviously Hispanic name.

You're running in circles with non sequitor and retarded strawman arguments.

Right, I started "this" to try and "start" something with you. I guess you don't remember the last time you pulled the "oh, poor Hispanic actors" card and we had a simlar discussion?

Reality: You started it and continue it by making the oddest and illogical arguments about Hispanic actors.
