I'm not buying Emma Stone as an Asian-American in Aloha

Oh, she’s great. Not a good movie for this good cast and premise

Ng is a Chinese last name.

It's the Cantonese pronunciation of Wu which is the Mandarin pronunciation/transliteration.

吴 or 巫 or others.

[stanne]

I know. It’s a chance. I like the theater and have found many good favorites not knowing anything except the premise. Not a guarantee, but a repentant military contractor, in Hawaii, great cast is a safe bet

Still a bet. And this one was a loss

[Rastus]

I thought Charlie Sheen was Win Ng!

[uglybiker]

I ain’buyin’ her, either.
But I might be willin’ to rent her for the weekend. :=p

[rabidralph]

LOL! Poor Elaine.

I have joked with some of my Asian friends that sometimes Asian doesn’t “take!” It’s funny. There is one boy who is friends with my son, who lives with his mom and dad and little brother. Then one day I was sitting with him at a game and he said that the dad was his step dad. His bio dad is Chinese! Step dad is hispanic and he seemed to match with the Mexican look more than looking half chinese.

A neighbor here is a beautiful natural blonde mom. Her dad is also Chinese. Only when you are TOLD this can you see the slight almond shape of her eyes, she looks more Swedish: tan and natural pale hair.

Another couple we know is Caucasian mom, Korean dad and the boys look like him, girls like her. Funny.

With that said, Emma Stone doesn’t look like her mama even winked at an Asian guy. Even my mixed Puerto Rican daughter has more almond eyes than her.

I love Emma Stone.

Very young, very talented actress.

Here’s a link to when she wiped the floor with Jimmy Fallon in a lip sych contest. There are two songs, the second song she absolutely wins the contest:

Do Chinese post photos of us in powdered wigs on `American' threads?

[Secret Agent Man]

I’m not buying Obama as an American who loves his country, and yet I’ms still stuck watching his pathetic acting to the gushing orgasms of the msm.

Genghis Khan had red hair.

Persian historian Rashid al-Din recorded in his "Chronicles" that the legendary "glittering" ancestor of Genghis was tall, long-bearded, red-haired, and green-eyed. Rashid al-Din also described the first meeting of Genghis and Kublai Khan, when Genghis was shocked to find that Kublai had not inherited his red hair.[8]

Adorable and simply not guilty.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Like James Mason was the Chinese ambassador in GENGHIS KHAN back in 1965, and Robert Morley was the Emperor of China.
Omar Sharif as Ghenghis Khan, but then, so was John Wayne in an earlier film.

An actor is someone who gets paid to pretend to be someone he is not, so what’s the problem with it?

[a fool in paradise]

Nearly every TV series has at least one interracial ‘involved’ couple, but there is no mention of race.

http://seinfeld.wikia.com/wiki/Darryl_Nelson

Darryl Nelson is Elaine's boyfriend in "The Wizard". After meeting him, Jerry and George are convinced that he is black. As it is ambiguous, Elaine spends the episode trying to figure out his race. While Elaine thought he was black, Darryl thought Elaine was Hispanic...
