I'm certainly no expert on Hollywood, but you do bring up some good points. I was going to write on the topic since someone on one of the Fallout Central podcasts used George Takei as an example along with Jet Li. Following the Trek mythology I have rational explanations as to why Kirk was getting all the women and Sulu wasn't. Stay tuned. Thanks for the comments.

I know where you are coming from, but this is different than other fields in the career world. For example there are people who wants to become movie stars on TV but they can't because of the way society or the media portray these people. Asian women are over sexualized by the media while Asian males are desexualized. For example in the movie "Romeo Must Die" with Jet Lee and Aaliyah, the original movie ending Jet Lee kissed Aaliyah. The crew tested the movie in public before it was officially published and guess what a plethora of people reacted and said that they did not like the Asian Guy "Jet Lee" kissing a Black lady. So the crew re-shot that scene with Jet Lee this time hugging Aaliyah instead, and this movie was suppose to be "Romeo and Juliet". So I guess Romeo did not get to kiss Juliet. Asian women are over sexualized by media not only in movies but also in commercial, for example in a quiz nose commercial advertising its new sandwich it shows an Asian women holding a sandwich and said this exact same words " It is not lacking any meat and that's what real women need" and she made a high school giggle after that. Now, Quan this is not only a race or gender issue but also an ethical issue. A lot of people might say we are reading too much into the commercial but guess what that is the role or point of commercial. They want people to see that Asian Women are this innocent naughty hybrid. You can find this commercial on youtube. Being a star is different than becoming a doctor or scientist. There many more examples but I have to go to take care of bussiness. You are bringing up good points Quan but there are the other half need to be discussed. Thank you. Quan,
