Really I recall that many articles of minorities in America like Tila Nguyen and Lucy Liu used to state that For example in Tila Nguyen s article they first called her a Vietnamese American In time it was explained in her early life that her parents were immigrants of Vietnam to the US It is not a secret that Tila is Vietnamese she has referenced this on MySpace and Twitter But eventually it was established that ethnicity should not be included in the lead This is something I have also noticed scrapped from most articles Same for Lucy Liu Rather than calling her Chinese Taiwanese American or whatever as she has referred to herself they dubbed her an American actress
