Asian communities are vital components of the heart and soul of virtually all North American cities.
Anyone who lives in one of these urban centers can easily recognize the contributions of Asians to their city. Aside from the establishment of mini-cultural centers such as Chinatown, Japantown, or Koreatown, Asians are a very real part of everybody's lives. The recent Hong Kong invasion of Hollywood, although a step in the right direction, is certainly not a cause for celebration. For even though the mere presence of Asian stars on the big screen does help to break down taboos against marketing Asians as stars, there are limitations as well. Imported Asian stars like Jackie Chan cannot realistically serve as role models for Asian Americans growing up in a society with significantly different values.
