Does the Asian guy (Yune) get the white girl in this movie?


Obviously, put a SPOILER warning on this thread.

Does Rick Yune get to kiss the white girl in this movie?

Just some stupid stare moments but nothing really.

Altough I did get the impression that Yune tried to touch the chick's breasts on various occasions while holding, lifting, supporting etc.

Obviously NOT. Hollywood (and I speak generically about western cinema) hates Asian men as romantic leads and has no problem putting white actors into roles that should have gone to asians.

Before anyone screams and hollars, I'm Caucasian, but even I'm sick of the 'white washing' of asian roles. And on the opposite extreme, the overt pandering to putting black characters where they wouldn't exist (historical dramas based in racist time periods, etc.)

Dr. Kila Marr was right. Kill the Crystalline Entity.

That would look ... odd.

Responding to another comment, Hollywood has a bad habit of using actors who are not the ethnicity of the character they are supposedly playing. I'm sure they think their reasons for doing this are good reasons, but it looks strange. Commonly caucasian actors are used for non-caucasian characters, but other substitutions are done also, such as when Andy Garcia played an Italian in The Untouchables. "Hispanics and Italians look the same, no one will notice!"
