Hiro Absent this Week on Heroes
One sure fire way for Hiro not to offend the Asians – not include him in the episode. So, Hiro does no damage to Asian credibility, but Masi Oka does no good either. Just a B.D. Wong on the Asian Scale – a no factor.
A Guide to the Hiro Meter Ratings
A quick guide to help let you know what the ratings mean on the Hiro Heroes Meter.
+3... Bruce Lee – Still the standard in Asian role models.
+2... Mr. Miyagi – Kind of a stereotype, but still wonderful and full of wisdom.
+1... John Cho – A bland, but likeable guy. Some girls even find him cute, and most don't find him repulsive. Always pluses.
0...B.D. Wong – No opinion, a nice general background Asian.
-1... Long Duk Dong (Gedde Watanabe) – Memorable actor who only works in stereotypes. He's a positive Asian influence right up until you really think about it.
-2... Ken Jeong – A very funny actor in pretty funny movies. Gets negative points by showing his micro penis in The Hangover. That set back being an Asian male 50 years.
-3... Tila Tequila – A walking herpe. She takes bad Asian stereotypes to new and exciting places.
-6... William Hung – Every bad Asian stereotype in one package. A sweet kid though who never understood everyone was making fun of him and to some extent all Asians everywhere.
-20... Mickey Rooney – No actor has worked harder to bring Asians down than Mickey Rooney. Does he hate us? Or love us in an odd Rooney sort of way? I just don't know.

I wonder where Rick Lee, Keni Styles and Hung Lo fall on this scale haha.
I personally hate Masi Oka I think he and B.D Wong shouldn't be in the same category. Have you seen M. Butterfly or him in Oz amazing. Hiro can't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

Not really sure if you've done this deliberately, but the colorings of your typefaces are very akin to the backdrop coloring - it makes it quite difficult to read something.

I feel this is too short list to scale Heroes because there can be few more who can make their way to this list.

I'm curious, where does Jackie Chan lay in this meter?
06/22/10 @ 06:31:59 pm
Jackie Chan is a solid +2.3

I cannot believe that one Asian revealing his weiner could provoke disdain from this website. My gaud, the asian immigrants to the U.S. are unmatcheable on their overall success in American life etc (even beyond whites); however, allow one simple scientific statistic (valid, yet means nothing to women when they are repeatedly polled on little weiners); which states asians are (on average less endowed) and a movie which happens to have an asian with (HE CANT HELP IT) a small wiener; NOW WE HAVE RACISM! My gaud, this is trumped up, trial lawyer bullying, bullshit that really DEequalizes people, and creates SPOTLIGHT victims (currently tiny weiners we gotta stop out among asians). COMEON, every race has em, hell I even have a small one (not as tiny as the actor here, but why should race play a factor, THIS IS SIMPLY OVERSENSITIVE, feminized bullshit that brought us what we have in the whitehouse today.Enjoy your goverment hypnotic feeding trance, all of you; they live off your receptiveness to their propeganda. :)
