I'm guessing that he got burned really bad by a couple of Asian females. So he does what any person with any self respect does these days... Vents all his frustration on the internet thinking people will care (and by this thread I guess we do care about the topic). :hehe:

But, I digress. I have to agree with the guy some what because I run into the same problems too. I'm sure there are Asian women that go against the "rule", but I'm having a hell of a time looking. :beaten: :hehe:

I guess the "curse" is not just religated to the common asian men. Super star Jackie Chan feels the same way.

Chan: Hollywood Limits Roles for Asians - By The Associated Press

SINGAPORE - Martial arts star Jackie Chan claims Hollywood limits roles for Asians and says it's time he became a "real actor" by taking on roles other than as a kung fu fighter.

"It's all the same, cop from Hong Kong, cop from China. Jet Li, Chow-Yun Fat and I all face the same problem, our roles are limited," said Chan, 50, referring to other Chinese action stars who have sought roles in Hollywood movies.

"Yes, I get treated like a king over there but I'm not happy. I get frustrated when I see them doing things the wrong way but I can't say anything," he told The Straits Times in Friday's editions.

The acrobatic, high-flying action hero was in Singapore to promote "New Police Story," a sequel to the 1985 movie that catapulted him to international stardom.

Chan's latest Hollywood film, an adaptation of the Jules Verne classic "Around the World in 80 Days," was a summer dud. Three others \ "The Medallion," "The Tuxedo" and "Shanghai Knights" with Owen Wilson \ also received lukewarm responses at the box office.

Although Chan returned to the United States this year for the filming of "Rush Hour 3," he said he wants to move away from action movies.

"I've always wanted to change, to become a real actor, like Robert De Niro . I don't want to be seen as an action hero anymore."

I think it applies to all Asians in general male and female, especially in Hollywood (is that a thread?)...

Heh, the revival of this thread reminded me of Fierce Striker.

Where the heck did he disappear off to? Wonder if his super model/boxing careers took off? :crazy: :hehe:
