You guys remember when Lucy Liu played the love interest in Lucky Number Slevin? No? Kay.

You guys remember when Jackie Chan played a down on his luck police officer who spent most of his film brooding over the loss of his squad in a very heartfelt and toned-down role? No? Kay.
You guys remember when Nikki Soohoo appeared on a variety of popular television shows in prominent roles? No? Kay.
You guys remember when Harry Shum Jr. played a lead role on Glee for his slick dance moves? No? Kay.
You guys remember when Vanessa Hudgens starred in an incredibly popular musical and went on to do some dope ass porn? No? Kay.
You guys remember when Brenda Song starred in a multitude of popular Disney sitcoms? No? Kay.
But you guys remember when some fat chick was diversity hired to play a role directly marketed because of the race of the character in an attempt to say "Hey, look what we did!" The role in the movie itself has nothing to do with race, but the Star Wars team is damn sure patting themselves on the back and basically screaming "Look guys, we hired an Asian!"
Out of all the things I posted, Star Wars is the racist and offensive one.
Do you think naming a handful of actors somehow means asian actors arent given the short end of the stick or in a lot of cases no stick at all?
Statistically, Asians are overrepresented in Hollywood - 4% of the roles, 2% of the population. ---
