where are the Asians?

Rating: 7/10 (14 March 2007)

I was not going to write a comment, but I was just thinking how come I didn't see any Asians in this film? I started to notice about this phenomena ever since I saw the film "Minority report" which did not have any Asian actors in them.
Have you ever seen an Asian male jock in any of the Hollywood high school or college movies? I don't think that there is one. There maybe some Asian girls as the popular students, but I have never seen any Asian males in any leading characters in any high school or college movies.
That guy Sannang reminds me of the Asian character in "Breakfast at Tifannys" which was very racially offensive to all Asians. Even though Sannang is supposed to be very smart, but look at him, he talks like an idiot, and he looks funny. The whole high school was laughing at him when his video was shown. The director chose to make him a "smart" student, that did not reduce his true intent which is to make fun of this Asian in degrading ways. That is very wrong. If he chose an African student to make fun of, would the blacks tolerate such a thing? I don't think so. If he wants to make fun of Asians, at least he should have hired another Asian actor for a positive role. Asians should not be silent again, we should not just take it for granted that Asians should be invisible in Hollywood movies!
In this film, all the jocks are white, the protagonist and his two friends are also white. The teachers are also white. The only Asian female actor was a porn star in this movie. The high school is supposed to be somewhere outside of Los Angeles. Asian students can be found in almost all California high schools, how can it be possible that in that particular high school, there was no Asian students? It doesn't make sense that those "jocks" were willing to make a video with those porn stars. And when Kelly wants to have a private talk with Matthew at the end, where did the principal go? How did Matthew become the president of the student body if he is not even popular? How can Kelly get a whole bottle of Ectasy drug directly from the glove compartment, what if he the police stops him one day and search his car? And his parents were OK to let him to go out with that girl late at night even though they just met?
