To HollywoodRacism, concerning lack of Asian scientists
I was just about to reply when the thread got deleted for no valid reason (as I see it).
Dear Mr. Deleter: This is a board of free opinions.
As for my reply:
The cast list of this movie says:
Alexander Lu...NASA Asian Scientist (uncredited)
So there is the Asian scientist token.
Original message:
where are the intelligent asian scientists? that is subtle racist!

now these days, there are subtle racist. employers don't have to say that they don't like asian people, they can just chose not to hire any asians, such as in this film.
i am posting this message again, because racists are constantly reporting it. to the moderator, if you think that i violated any rules, i dare you to send me a private email and tell me which rule that i am violating.
to others, save yourself a copy of what you wrote, because yours will be deleted as well.
you have heard of the news of intelligent Asian American scientists who were accused of spying for China, such as wen ho lee. but how often do you see asian american scientists on tv and in films? is that racist? why can't asian american actors be hired to play some positive roles, such as in this film? this film has 0 asian in it!
if fbi and cia people don't see real asian american scientists in tv shows and films, then they will think like the rest of the white producers, directors, casting directors that all asians are foreigners, they are not US citizens!
in 2016, black people boycotted oscar because it has no black nominations even though lots of blacks are hired to be actors. they think that oscar is racist. well, in this film, i don't see a single asian face in it. therefore, it is also a racist film, because it didn't hire any asian american actors. asians have been living in the usa since 1800's if not earlier.
racists always make excuses. in films, such as Cinderella, snow white, asians are not hired because those roles are for white people. in historical tv shows such as "mad men", due to racial discrimination, those companies never hire asian workers. in other romnatic films, asians are not hired because the original novel didn't have any asians.
now these days, in most hollywood films, white directors always have to hire at least one black actor just to make sure it is a "diverse" film. there are far more asian students in colleges than blacks. this is just racial ignorance, especially when there are more asian scientists than black scientists. people say that asian americans are good at science and math.
well, how many asian actors were ever hired to play scientists in tv shows and films?
