Bottomline, the modeling industry is very racist in America (as in loving White, Black, and Latino, and ignore Asians). Same thing in the acting industry. Little do they know about the Charisma of Asians. Go Asians!
Romance novels huh? Do you look like Fabio? Well, I do mostly runway and print stuff and get paid half of the female model's salary, .
You can see some of them at the thread titled "Golgo_13's Pix"

Be patient and let the images come up.[/quotes]
Did you do any Fitness Modeling? You definitely could have done that, since most fashion models are not buff enough (bishonen type), moi aussi, :cough:.

It's by accident that the Asian male is marginalized in Western society and it is reflected in their portrayal in the media. Places like Japan even does it to its OWN men, heh. All of this, while on the other hand, the "Asian woman" is said to be "exotic" and "fetishized"...
A question I've always had...
if Keanu Reeves had used a Chinese last name (knowing he is half Chinese), how many Matrix movies would he have starred in?
Yeah..I just thought that Asian models are not given more opportunity..Look at Devon Aoki..she's just practically do nothing in the "Fast and Furious".
Mmmm..I admire one J-male model called Yusuke Iseya. He became an actor after than and later on he also has proven himself that he's a good director. I've seen his directing debut "Kakuto"..brilliant.

Even Rocky Aoki is better looking than Devon Aoki.
There are women in Japan infinitely prettier than her, but most Americans and Japanese have different views on what a good looking Japanese (or Orientals as a whole for that matter) looks like.
In Japan, I doubt that Lucy Liu would become a star. BTW, not because she is Chinese. There was an actress named Judy Ong who was fairly successful in Japan.

I think Devon Aoki is attractive (met her in '96 once at a 7th on 6 runway show here in NYC)... but DEFINITELY not a beauty in any traditional sense. My point was... that she CANNOT ACT.
and it's so true that the views in both areas of the world are different.
I mean... here in America, from what I've seen.. the most popular Asian model is...

I should agree that Devon is not pretty but sort of unique and different.
