The Asian sound in the beginning of the "Down" video is a clip from his 2007 single "Ride It." I don't think it had anything to do with his trying put some Asianness in the video (especially since the music is East Asian rather than South Asian), but more to do with marketing and remind people who know of him of his last single.

Yeah, right lol. As for the "minimization of his Asianness," he got a haircut and put on muscle long before singing onto the American label (see "Ride It" from 2007). Does that mean Asians can't get buzz cuts or go the gym lol? I don't think he can pass as Hispanic (he looks straight up South Asian), but I guess people who don't expect an Indian to be muscular and attractive would automatically assume he is because he's brown-skinned.
