My first thought was Sandra Oh and then I looked it up and she's Canadian :heh:

Then I thought Lucy Liu, Ali Wong, Devon Aoki, and Margaret Cho. Only Asian man I could think of off the top was Lou Diamond Phillips:skip:
When I was a kid I always thought Lou Diamond Phillips was Latino. Nowadays there's zero chance he would come to my mind unless someone else said his name first.



Off the top of my head, I know Bruce and Brandon Lee, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Sandra Oh, Bobby Lee, Lucy Lui, Awkwafina.
Jet Li and Jackie Chan ain't american.

randall park of megabot and the marvel movies is the only one that comes to mind, but the problem for me is that if the distinction isnt made, then how would anyone know?


Even when I was a little kid I coulda named Dat Nguyen, Kristi Yamaguchi, Lisa Ling, Connie Chung, and Apu.


(edit - just checked and I wouldn't have actually known who Dat was until I was a teenager. The rest still hold tho)

apu isnt a born asian american. he was born in india
