how do white girls feel about asian guys?

And that’s only b/c the director, an Asian-American, Justin Lin, had to fight hard to get some AM characters which weren’t the typical Hollywood spiel. Lin had the character of the “buddy” to the WM lead fleshed out/more developed with the intent of it being an AM. The studio wanted Lin to change the character to a WM or BM, but he was eventually ablke to get his way.

<p>Humm, interesting–I didn’t know an Asian guy directed Tokyo Drift. I guess the situation in Hollywood STILL sucks for Asian guys then. I thought that movie was a shining exception for me to hang my hat on, but I it turns out it’s only because it’s directed by an Asian guy.</p>

<p>Was it really true that he had to fight for it though? It seems rather ridiculous and hard to comprehend for me that the director has to fight for some likeable, non-stereotypical Asian characters for a movie set in GODDAMN TOKYO</p>

I didn’t see it either and I’m probably biased because I don’t like the Fast and Furious movies to begin with, but I mean, isn’t it worse that the white guy who sounds very white trash-ish (that is him speaking near the end with the worst accent in the history of the earth isn’t it? FYI this is coming from someone from Kansas) can beat out all the suave and cool Asian guys at their own game and manages to steal the girl from the best of them (though from the wiki summary, the main antagonist, DK, does seem like a ass)?

I don’t really have anything against a white guy with a southern accent. The main character from Tokyo Drift seems cool enough, and I can relate to someone who’s always felt like “he never fit in” a little bit.</p>

So, by the information i have been given first hand, by someone who has lived in japan for about 1.5 years of her life (she had an internship too), i think that when the white guy gets the asian girl, in the case of tokyo drift, is not at all racist since according to my tutor, that is basically what happens to all the guys.

I actually give props to the movie because it doesn’t follow the American-cinema stereotype of the white guy getting the Asian girl–the girl wasn’t Asian. So I give the movie credit for that, for not fulfilling the whole white guy Asian-fetish fantasy (unlike say, Last Samurai, or the Miami Vice remake–Colin Farrell can choke on my big fat schlong).</p>
