Maybe they are beautiful but have a racial predispostion to lack of acting talent?
there are good actors in asia but i think it's that most asians are more subdued and that doesn't fit in well with america's style on film. i mean there are asians who can depending on the person.

Better question why don't you see more in other cultures period. They have there large amount in their country. In Japan they have lots of Japaneses stars. In China they have Chinese, in Greece they are from Greece so why the big deal about Asians? (This dosen't just apply to Americans and Europeans its in all cultures.) Why is it if it is America they got to be different then any of the other countries. Of course Europe was included in this but why would they even be included?
Someone here also said Americans were imports I do believe? If you look at history you will see that most people are imports only Americans would of been the most recent.

i think it's because of the multicultural moniker, so they wonder prematurely before the goose is cooked why asians are not so visible in the media.
every culture evolves a certain way and america has also. i predict when asians are seen as just people who are people but unique just as themselves instead of objectified is when the world becomes more international than it is today. people will say that it is already but actually it's in the first stages. think of the international airports as a microcosm of an example, no one thinks twice about all the different people or races or look or form of dress they see. my younger brother saw me off at the airport and while waiting in queue, he told me how their was an air of wonder and excitement in the air, like he was on top looking down and feeling the connection like never before (world connection) like he never thought of in that way before or noticed. the feeling for him just increased as we moved from domestic to the international sector of the airport. he had a feeling of wonder, respect and pride come over him for the entire world. the upward surge though we may seem divided by other things that unites us all, each trying and doing in our part of the world and connected there. the pursuit of life. i think this loftier perspective is way in the future and in the case of america, either americans adopt that mindframe on their own or more asians immigrate. i don't think the latter would be the case as much. i think just the global world will just become that, living in their countries but more global minded than most are today. it's still in the beginning, not at the end. despite this, there will always be people that lack vision or want to reverse everything or can never understand or see at a more humanistic level at how we(the world) are interconnected but diverse which is beautiful.
With all of the threads praising Asian beauty, I was just wondering why there are virtually no Asian women topping any list of actresses: top grossing films, highest paid, sexiest, etc.
Are Lucy Liu and Sandra Oh the best offerings of sex symbols for Asian women ?
Why aren't Asian women represented more diversely in American/European film?
Some people like different things. Some don't care one way or the other. Sometimes people prefer someone with acting ability over someone who looks good. It all varies. Ask 100 people, you'll probably get 100 different opinions.

Why is it that we have to have a huge celebrity to validate ourselves never needed one before but as soon as celebrity status became an issue this is what we need? I'm not one to look at a person and be judgmental in any color of physical defect . I'm sure most are not judgmental just the way some perceive the way a subject is worded.( I am also at fault myself on this one I have said things and if you don't know me you may take it out of context.) How ever some people take things out of context on purpose just for the argument itself.
Of couse there have always been some sort of celebrity status in the world for awhile but now it's an issue of race. Why? I could go farther into this subject but then it would go off the subject and I may sound like a bigot which I am not since this isn't the subject. However if this was the subject I wouldn't sound like a bigot because I have thoughts on both sides.

it seems some people care or wonder why. i don't think having a significant number of asian celebrities in the west especially where they ar a minority is as important than asians being drawn up in demeaning and insulting ways in media in only caricature roles to influence the general public which is susceptible. the latter is really the only thing which poses any real potential problems.
i always enjoyed harry kim's role in star trek voyager. he was just a regular guy. well, i like the entire show but that is an example. if more asians want to get into american entertainment business, that's their calling or want to pursue. media is about mass popularity or appeal and if asians don't fit that, then that's that or wait until times change. for those who will choose to pursue that, i'm sure some or most may face limited roles and even prejudice but that is something that they will have to deal with. some may need to just start thier own production company and see if they can be viable by catering to some aspects of the population etc.

There aren't that many asians in the US for starters.
