6/17 What do Taiwanese people have against Jackie Chan?
\_ he's a male chauvinist pig
\_ thanks for the fact filled url on that topic!
\_ if you were a h07 42n ch1c u would already know!
\_ because earlier he made a comment in Shanghai, saying that Taiwan's
election in 2004 is "stupid." Taiwan government felt insulted,
refused to issue license for this charity performance.
\_ I have a Taiwanese friend who's hated him for more than a year.
Is this 2004 election the only reason?
\_ He married a famous Taiwanese actress, and she stopped
making movies. Some people were annoyed about that.
\_ I hate him because his movies promote Asian stereotypes, that
they're short and ugly and that their accent & moves are hilarious
hence should not be taken seriously -serious asian
\_ Anyone who actually believes this is an idiot. For
examples, see the "Hardboiled" newspaper around Berkeley.
\_ white on the outside, yellow on the inside?
\_ you care too much about what white people think, and thus
allowed them to define you. you will never jump out of it
that way. you will always be a wannabe.
\_ no one is 'defining' him or anyone else. no one thinks
Jackie Chan = Standard Asian Male. he's a comedy actor who
does physical comedy and stunts. nothing more.
\_ so what's your problem?
\_ I think it's worth pointing out that Jackie Chan
thinks of himself as a modern day Buster Keaton. He's
studied Keaton's work, and apparently is a big fan.
\_ urlP?
