Random Fact... I

It is interesting how American cinema portrays Asian people....

A. In Breakfast at Tiffany's they had one asian character who was supposedly..... Chinese or Japanese, we can't even tell, because he was wearing a Japanese Robe and had a roomful of chinese lamps; and since then the image of an asian person from the viewpoint of America and its neighboring countries. The sad fact is, the actor playing the asian character is, in fact, an american actor, Mickey Rooney, playing this bucktooth, slanted and squinty eyes, heavy accented asian person...

from the movie breakfast at tiffany's

How..... stereotypical
