^ Of all people, I would think that you wouldn't find it remarkable.

Wow, i didn't know Batista to be half-filipino. I always thought him to be from Mexican descent. However, he's got lots of steroid on him.

Anyone have a pic?

I think when Asian men are placed in a romantic lead role where there are some serious make out sessions with a female from another race, then their public image will definitely take a turn for the better.

You have it backwards... When Asian men already have a positive image in society, then you'll start seeing it on the screen because people will actually want to pay money to see it.

All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

How about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.... Samoan/Pacific Islander.

Asian men already have a positive image in society. Yet, it still seems to be ignored by the media. Take movies like "Pearl Harbor" which is supposed to take place in Hawaii... TONS of Asians and Pacific Islanders right... watch that movie again... almost none, even in the atmosphere actors.
