Asians on TV is just like anyone else on TV. What has this country come to that people expect others to set an image precedence for them? And have we gotten so LCD addicted that Americans can't think for themselves and believe EVERYTHING they see on the television screen? Come now people...NO one is that dense.

Ticked Off:

Believe me sweetie, AA women have nothing to worry about. As long as women of other races shake their butts and bare their boobs on TV for cheap pay and a chance to see the Dave Matthew's band they should be alright. Besides...men may be dumb but they aren't that dumb. Even if some guy does believe what he saw on Road Rules his balls will be handed to him by the next woman he sees if he takes the wrong step. Guaranteed.

ABCParent:

Don't stress. That's all I can say. The time of Asian fathers shall come. They're just now getting to the point where they show African American men with their children (Since for awhile it was assumed that the mom was either single or the father was in jail.) and Hispanic men are just hitting their stride too. I'm curious to know as to why you don't write the producers of these commercials and ask. Kvetching on Goldsea won't help much ya know?

I saw yet another one! A CVS drugstore commercial showed an Asian mother and her daughter with their CVS shopping bag getting out of a car and walking into their beautiful Colonial-style home. Where...where for god's sake was Dad?? Dead? Missing again? Argh!

Some hot Asian babe won on Wheel of Fortune last night--her name was Min Hee.
I'm still PO'd about the behavior of that Ellen chick on the last installment of Road Rules on MTV--she was openly giving that A-hole Adam Oral Sex in the RV during the trip and pissing the Hell out of everyone. She just made all AA females look easy to all non-AA males.

Thanks a lot, BITCH!!!

There was this ugly girl on Malcolm in the Middle the other day. She was Francis' wife. Since the show is supposed to be a wicked dark comedy, they didn't have to pick someone who looked good.

I feel that people need to stop making negative comments about Lucy Liu. I find it really ironic that so many people would complain about the absence of Asians in the media and when one finally appears...(LL) they have even more things to complain about. People need to just stop being so difficult. Also...let's try to be more mature next time and not judge an actress by the roles she plays. I found some people's posts here to be really amusing in a way that I feel embarrassed for them. I can't say that Lucy Liu is pretty...but my guess is that she looks better than 99% of those who commented on her being ugly in their posts. And to those people...you know it's true..that's why she's was in Hollywood while you were staring at your computer coming up with immature comments about her to compensate your face.

mediacounselingservices.com,

I was going to sign up, but your url is fake. Are you pulling my leg.

I'm still trying to get over the movie "Double Happiness," where there was WM/AM homosexual relationship.

I can no longer go into bars without thinking if the WM is only talking to me, so that he can sleep with my AM boyfriend.
