I'm guessing his answer is No. And I think that's the problem. Collectively, we don't care. Which brings me to another article in Asianweek from a few days ago titled "Where are the APA movie starts?" by Philip Chung. Here: http://www.asianweek.com/2007/12/14/where-are-the-apa-movie-stars/ The line I found most relevant of Chung was: "Unlike black and Latino audiences, Hollywood doesn’t even track Asian audiences separately. They don’t need to; we essentially have the same consuming patterns as white audiences. If a studio releases an “Asian American” film, our community is about as likely to support that as a white audience." Apathy is what kills Asian's chances in entertainment. If you don't support (nor care), then don't complain.
