Ken Jeong

I assume the point of the question is that a lot of people are going to give answers who aren't actually American? Like I know Jackie Chan isn't. I had to pause and think about a few of the names after Ken Jeong to make sure they were American. I'm sure Ken Jeong only came to mind first as I just binge watched Community recently

Edit: Although I guess the point could be that people associate Asian with a certain subset of nationalities that omits a large bunch of Asian countries (i.e. everything west of China)

My first thought was to will myself to think of someone from wrestling that didn't debut in a Japanese fed, thinking that may work

Which led me to Gail Kim, which is ALMOST right (she's Canadian)

Then I just let myself go and went

Jet Li (knew this was wrong, but I guess my mind felt he was more "American" feeling than someone like Jackie Chan-- I blame the Expendables)
Kelly Hu (wasn't sure this was right, looked her up afterwards, turns out it was)
Ken Jeong (knew this was right)

They are considered Asian for demographic purposes but don't usually come to mind for most people, since East Asians are a lot more common in the US.

The first person I thought of was Jackie Chan.

The first one I thought of who is actually American is Ken Jeong
Damn it. I can't believe it didn't actually cross my mind that Jackie Chan is actually Chinese.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

The point is probably the poll posted earlier where 42% of people just said they couldnt think of one.

And Jackie Chan was the next most common answer...

a porn star for some reason

Me, too. Oddly enough, I just saw Asia in an old documentary called Life After Porn or something. That's what brings her to mind.

EDIT: It was called "After Porn Ends".
