3. "RE: stop the sexploitASIAN, get organized!"
Stereotyping of Asian men as in this piece - they say Asian men have delicate features, ladyboy fingers, bonsai ass - should not be tolerated nor allowed to pass without complaint/mention. Why must Asian men always be
emasculated in Western society?

Other effective means are to write the magazine, write our local newspapers, write the advertisers.

10. "RE: stop the sexploitASIAN, get organized!"
i agree. check out what i wrote on another discussion board (http://www.dyske.com/discuss.asp?id=788, read from bottom to top) sophia, i dont know u, so please dont take offense, im not saying that the forthcoming comment is a related to u.

in western society, asian women are often seen by whites as exotic and beautiful (i feel this way too of course), but the kicker is that they are only seen as objects. look in the media, tia carrera, lisa ling, lucy liu are all viewed as sex objects (im not saying that theyre not sexy), while all the male asians in the entertainment industry are all kung fu masters (and why the FUC* is the last samurai a white guy?)

part (not completely) of the reason why there are all these stereotypes exist is because asian girls are dating white guys. its been speculated that asian girls go for white guys to "escape the opressive asian culture." this makes the white guys think they can get any girl they want, and thus superior. now that the white men think that theyre superior, that type of thinking gets transfered to white women. then white women dont feel like asian men are good enough (or gay)...and the wheel goes round.

bottom line...dont date white boys!

this is a msg for peter.
women in the society are generally being seen as objects. i'm not saying being seen as objects is good but women from any race-- not necessary asians, r seen as objects.
it has nothing to do with dating white guys and making them think they'r superior.
white people think they'r superior simply because they are white.

sent out the petition link to all your friend. i did.

On the side, "the last sumari" is played by Tom Cruise because the story is based on a white man who fought for the sumari in Japan. I think we need to be careful before critizing people, especially if you are using strong language.

34. "Last Samurai---not a true story"
I don't know how people are getting the wrong impression from the movie, "Last Samurai." No white men fought for to keep the old culture in Japan during the time of civil war, Meiji Revolution. Only thing Europeans did was to sell the weapons and provide some military trainers to both sides to capitalize on the arms sale. As a common knowledge, Japan used to pay in real Gold back in those days. Yes, there was a Japanese samurai named Takamori-Saigo who had fought for and later against the Meiji government. That is the only part that is based on the true history. So I don't know how people get the wrong idea that white men did anything that was great for Japan but to profit on their arms sales. I am just surprised by the ignorance of so many people.

36. "RE: Last Samurai---not a true story"
But that's not the point. The point is that Tom Cruise was actually playing a white character and not pretending to be Asian (like in Kung Fu for example). Regardless of the truth behind the story, the Last Samurai is not just another movie exploiting Japanese culture and casting a big name white actor to play the obviously Asian lead. It's a movie about a white guy who happened to be in Japan at the time. Cruise in the Last Samurai is like Brad Pitt in Seven Years in Tibet, not Keanu Reeves in Little Buddha.

in other words, commodify revisionist history because it sells at the boxoffice. i'm not sure which is worse, yellowface with accurate histories or cultural appropriation through revisionist history. as been pointed out before, why not a movie about asians who witnesses the civil war?

49. "RE: Last Samurai---not a true story"
Unfortunately, a lot of Asians were working on the railroad back in Civil War days .... it wouldn't sell to have a railroad worker point of view on Civil War.

Isn't the last samurai a re-write of The Shogun ?

73. "RE: Last Samurai---not a true story"
But it's rather short-sighted to disapprove of a movie that is otherwise laudatory of an Asian culture simply because the protaganist, this "last samurai," is white. Aside from the ridiculous idea that even a trained soldier could become an elite samurai swordsman over the period of--what was it? six months?--the movie did praise samurai culture for their bravery and rigorous moral code. Indeed, it was the beauty of the culture that made Cruise's character become this "last samurai." If it was an attempt at culture theft, it was the sort that led pe
