Show me proof it does.

You think Hollywood is missing out on some untapped market that could bring them millions upon millions of dollars on purpose?

What is the % of Asians in the US? I'd say they're properly represented.

That's ok though, right? It's a meritocracy when minorities are over represented, but it's racism when they aren't.

You're the one claiming Hollywood is racist against Asian males. How about you show me proof of that. Like I said, Hollywood is a business. If an actor can bring people to the theater, they will cast him, regardless of race. I'm using logic and common sense. You, however, are assuming that an industry that has cast black males in many leading roles, etc, is letting their own racism dictate how they operate their business. Or are they just racist against Asian males? So if you're gonna say such things, you have to show proof that is the case.

How about you look at the popularity of movies with Asian leads. I guess the Jet Li movies weren't that popular because the Hollywood producers are racist.

In here to see the double standards.

Ppl complain about white ppl in asian films

White misc and other white ppl: Oh quit complaining!!! whiny whiny!!! crybaby!!!!!

Black person stars as james bond or say in a period film on historically white countries

White misc and other white ppl: This is BS james bond is white!! England *insert another european country* are white countries!!! (but you know it's ok if white ppl star in period movies of other races like Asians for example)

Mparserz-

you're right, there is no market for asian males. why? because people don't like it when an asian makes it. watch jeremey lin's documentary on netflix, you'll see the struggle for an asian american. he was the best damn pg in aau but no team took him because he was the asian kid. he wont states in hs, lead his team in every category but yet no team wanted him. its pretty interesting. same chit happens in hollywood, people dont want the asian because its exotic, its different.

i dont doubt similar things happen in the film industry, youll get chan and chad. chad will get the role because he is white. simply that. if you can't accept that racism exists, youre naive and i cannot change that for you.

Nice failure to understand the issues at hand. James Bond IS a white character. Roland IS a white character. Replacing them with blacks or other races just to placate the SJW crybaby crowd is what we're against.

There was actually a Korean star by the name of stage name of Rain, who was at the peak of his popularity in Asia, that Hollywood decided to cast in a movie called Ninja Assassin a couple years ago. Movie bombed. Regardless of the guy's notoriety in the Asian markets, the western market just wasn't interested. So Hollywood does try to cast Asian leads here and there in an effort to test out the waters. Only problem is, Hollywood is obviously not getting the results they like.

Jackie Chan, Jet Li, etc, were able to get some success in Hollywood for a while. But their popularity eventually died down. But it goes to show that Hollywood is willing to take on Asian leads as long as they have a demographic that will watch the movies. That's why these talks of "Hollywood is racist towards Asian males." is so idiotic. Money is money. Hollywood wants nothing more than to take advantage of a market they think is untapped or under exploited. Look what happened when Hollywood saw that the public vampire movies. Or tweener flicks. Or Jennifer Lawrence. Hollywood has no shame. They'll whore out whoever they have to in order to profit.
