Topic	Bruce Lee exploited Asian stereotypes to make money at the expense of AsAms
Balrog0 09/12/18 11:53:52 AM #9:	Bok_Choi posted... Bruce Lee is the reason why martial arts stereotypes about Asian people exist He's the reason why people go "WA! HA~~~~YA!" when imitating Asian people doing "karate" (they don't even realize Karate is Japanese, not Chinese, because the distinction is meaningless to them) C'mon now, wuxia was a thing way before Bruce Lee. And Bruce Lee isn't even the only one of his contemporaries to successfully transition from eastern to western cinema (Jackie Chan even got his own cartoon) --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:908598743] in Bruce Lee ...
