Asians on American TV

On RBJ, Ben wrote:

"I would like to see Asian representation that doesn't involve:
-delivering food
-being a gang member
-fighting or kung-foolery
-playing an FOB who's crazy about American white women
-playing a prostitute
-portraying a robotic (or inhuman) businessman
-as some jungle-inhabiting enemy fighting against the forces of "good" or western civilization
In effect, I want Asians to represented as ordinary people devoid of stupid stereotypes and novel hype."

Good one, Ben.
