Asian American's are depicted very differently than other race's in film. They are portrayed as the kick ass karate goo roo. They are usually smaller than other main characters in the movie. But that usually makes absolutely no difference in their ass kicking ability. For example, Jet Li is a small good looking asian. In every one of his movies he is playing the martial arts, triple black belt wearing, ass kicking asian. Jackie Chan is another one that comes to mind. He is similar in how he is portrayed. Also another thing that i noticed is that in movies with Asian americans such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li, there are also asian american bad guys in the movie as well. Just thought that was interesting.
