Yes, before I form an opinion about any ethnic group, I first consult The Simpsons, an unimpeachable primary source.

That’s one Asian and one oriental for the examples.
My wife is an American citizen of Vietnamese ancestry and she is not a happy camper if I mistakenly call her Asian instead of Oriental.

16 Candles was released in 1984. That’s 34 years ago. You can’t come up with a more timely example to support your stupidity?

People of Color?! Shoot, I'm an Irishman (Irish Catholic) and I can give dozens of examples how my people were slandered/profiled/denigrated by Hollywood's bigotry! Time to grow a spine, and MAGA!

Stereotypes don’t make themselves up, and most times are generalizations, rather than meanness. If people are offended by them, they shouldn’t act like them. Actually, people should just get over themselves and learn to laugh again. I don’t care if you stereotype me because of my race and sex, but when it turns to demonization it crosses the line.

One of the big reason that Asian actors get short shrift is because they are expected to play any person from any ethnic group that can be lumped together as Asian.

If Hollywood could just produce something, anything, that had a group of Chinese actors, a different group of Japanese actors, Indian actors, Vietnamese actors, Korean actors, etc., who looked enough like those in their group, but not like those in other groups, it would help them all out.

So, casting calls would be specifically for say, Vietnamese actors, and audiences would recognize them as “Vietnamese looking”.

If 95 out of 100 random convenience stores have Indian clerks, does that mean I'd be correct in saying that all convenience store clerks are Indians?

Of course not.

But would I be correct in saying that Indians are not disproportionately represented in the ranks of convenience store clerks? No, I would not.

Why not let the truth speak for itself?
