There is a large amount of Asian Americans who became famous?
Here some examples:
-Lucy Liu: She's a Chinese American actress and had very important roles in "Charlies Angels" and "Kill Bill" part one and two.
-Jackie Chan: He's a chinese American actor and director and he's very well trained in traditional Chinese martial arts. I think he's one of the few actors who does all his actions in films without a stuntman. In one of his movies he broke his leg at a scene where he jumped off a boat and he didn't stop playing his role till the end of the chapter.
- Jin tha MC: He's also a Chinese American who became famous as a Hip Hop artist.

These are just a few examples of famous Asian Americans...

a lot of Koreans blame theirself for the Virginia Tech Masscare and feel responsible for it? They think he was a part of their society and they should have been recognizing his problems before he committed a suicide massacre at his school. Well, I think these Korean Americans shouldn't blame theirself for it, because everybody knows that Seung Cho who killed himself and many other people, was totally crazy. So it's no fault of all Korean Americans of course, I think it's good that they feel sorry for the victims, but they shouldn't feel guilty at all.

Outcast of a TV show on a channel made by Asian Americans

...This afternoon Rosie O'Donnell was a guest of a TV show and she made a lot of jokes about Chinese Americans. She said we're talking like: " ching chong ching chong Danny de Vito ching cong". Why does she make such racistic comments? Do we play jokes on her because she's lesbian? No, we don't. So she shall shut the f**k up what concerns saying such things about us.
I think it's the worst stereotype to claim that we're all talking like this, it's our language and even if it sounds a little bit strange to other cultures, it has to be respected.

even some famous people made racist comments about Asian Americans or gay people? For example Rosie O'Donnell made a lot of jokes about Chinese Americans on a TV show. She was thinking that the only words a Chinese American can say are "ching" and "chong". Another example is the famous basketballplayer Tim Hardaway who said in an interview: "Well you know, I hate gay people. I let it be knwon that i don't like gay people... ." I think saying things like that shows that you're a kind of racist. It is intolerant to discriminate people because of their nationality or their sexuality, it's nonsence to make comments like that, whether you are famous or not.

Poem about racism

Why are we dicriminated?
Why do people blame us for their hatred?
Why shall people from other countries be inferior,
while Americans shall be superior?
Why don't the cops care about our death?
Why should our life be worth less?

We must stop the governments racism,
and finally set an end to fascism.

If we don't stop the law and the cops,
people won't stop blaming us for losing their jobs.

Asian immigrants of the 1.5 generation often think that they don't belong to the American society because of their look and their pronounciation? But if they would go back to their so called "mother-country" they would think that they don't belong,too. They are torn between their 2 cultures, on the one hnad the Asian and on the other hand the American culture. So they feel like they don't have a place where they can stay and they feel excluded by their societies.
