Sexism too.
Sexism too.
I know this history quite well. Some people may not have fond memories. Others do. Given he was at the vanguard of what was later seen as exploitation by some I feel it's quite unjust to dismiss his accomplishments and legacy. You can better make the charge against Jackie Chan or Jet Lee if you choose to go that route.
You're the one who so happily remarked about getting a white Southern woman. As if that's some kind of accomplishment! They're not a prize, a symbol of "we've made it." Appears to me you want to turn back time and keep women in a subjugated role. Women are not your sidekicks. Women have agency. They needn't wait…
Still don't understand words, eh? More comfortable with nebulous where things mean what you decide they mean? How wonderful for you. What a privilege you've awarded yourself. If you genuinely believe that one thing, and only that one thing = heritage then I've reached conclusion that you're being willfully stupid.…
Again, you brought up martial arts: "…because he falls into the stereotype of kung-fu wielding Asian man…" My comment was in response to it.
Though he appeared in some films as a child his American TV role predates his noteworthy HK films. I guess it's easy to dismiss those films as merely "martial arts", but they were produced by Chinese for the Chinese audience; it's one of many styles that appealed to the locals. It was exported because action movies…
You brought up martial arts. I responded mockingly to this utterly bizarre comment of yours: "His heritage being "kung-fu" is a racial stereotype." I never said such a thing, it's a fabrication of yours. This is what I said: "Bruce Lee was a Chinese American. That's his heritage." Heritage has countless facets. My…
"Dude's going out with a southern white girl and stepping it up when necessary."
I consider Mr. Lee more a movie star than a TV actor - his global fame derives from that rather than the role of Kato. Given that you had to think about it you probably think of him as a movie star, too. True he was a sidekick in the Green Hornet. Usually actors start with minor roles, often the sidekick sort, and if…
What ridiculous comment is that? I haven't put a white woman on a pedestal to be won.
I've stuck to the point. I have to keep pulling you back to it.
I'm not looking for forgiveness from a misogynist and a racist. You subscribe to the idea of the elevated white woman, and you see women are won like a prize by men. You wrote it, you own it.
Racists use the white-woman-on-the-pedestal gambit. When you buy into that thinking you're giving legitimacy to that ideology, ergo you're a racist.
In the world of limited food I'd be very happy to eat anything home cooked, and that includes tuna casserole. I reckon it's better than opossum and raccoon.
No, you stop. I haven't confused him for Chinese. Nor have I said he used any type of martial art. Nor have I said he's Bruce Lee. You're imagining things now. Perhaps you can't understand things you read. I responded to this incorrect statement: "I can't think of another incident of an Asian-American being such an…
Kung fu is from Asia, China specifically. Bruce Lee was a Chinese American. That's his heritage. There's nothing stereotypical of a person doing things of his heritage. You think him using chopsticks is a stereotype, too?
Alpha-male can't use king fu? You going to deny him his heritage? A white girl is some type of prize? An object? Put her on a pedestal, why don't ya.
Ever heard of Bruce Lee?
"No, bro. Cool. Calm. Collective. It's printed on a t-shirt my ma bought me."
Is that where they have books and things?
