If you attended the event live you heard the producers reach out to the audience for assistance. Lend a hand and help raise the show from mediocrity or watch the show disappear. That might be better - at least you won't have anything to complain about.

Maybe I don't necessarily mean "negative stereotypes" as much as I mean "stereotypes," where the typical American moviegoers expects Asian actors to do some type of martial art.

And not only that..why Kenny G and Steven Segal getting more camera time? It was cheesy lame show. I saw it on E!...they edited so much out. I just feel the awards was catered to white America. I just can't accept how mediocre it is. Nominating people who are on cancelled shows…doesn’t that signify that they probably couldn’t help the show with their poor acting?

Is it because he does martial arts? Or the roles he's had in Rush Hour? Nothing in his work portrays Asians in a bad light. His talent has lifted his martial arts movies beyond what the genre was before. And I can't see anything obvious in his other Hollywood roles that stereotypes Asians.
