How come Americans can't largely create works and introduce talent that challenge the color barrier like those abroad? Aren't we supposed to be the champions of diversity in the world? Does this mean minorities have to go abroad to get noticed for the most part? If so, that says a lot about the climate in the US, but the increasing multinational/multicultural influence in the entertainment industry is still a welcomed one that brings much needed diversity to the scene, and I hope will only continue to grow. - Joe Sun, 06 Sep 2009 13:24:53 +0100 http://blendedpeopleamerica.com/chameleon/september-09/50-foreign-invasion.html#comment-119 Yeah just like the new star trek movie coming out. I was surprised at how much diversity was placed into the cast. - VD Sat, 05 Sep 2009 04:24:38 +0100 http://blendedpeopleamerica.com/chameleon/september-09/50-foreign-invasion.html#comment-118 Nice post. Yeah I've started to notice a change in a lot of casting these days. You can even go back to the 80's and you'll see a big difference. Children of men was really great and I believe stands out to be unique. - Amy Ingril Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:24:04 +0100 http://blendedpeopleamerica.com/chameleon/september-09/50-foreign-invasion.html#comment-117 lol I AM biracial! i just often speak of the Asian community. I'm half Japanese, part Venezuelan, part Trinidadian, and part Spaniard. - Chameleon Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:18:46 +0100 http://blendedpeopleamerica.com/chameleon/september-09/50-foreign-invasion.html#comment-116 Interesting response from the writer. I always had the impression that you were a biracial like myself. So are you are asian american then? - Julie Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:17:56 +0100 http://blendedpeopleamerica.com/chameleon/september-09/50-foreign-invasion.html#comment-115 truthfully, i think we'll see Asian Americans becoming more prominent in the industry than before and will become just as big as the latino community. in my previous post, i felt that although the Asian numbers are growing, we're still being typecast or ignored and deemed expendable; with studios reusing originally asian characters/stories and rehashing them with alternated versions. However, even with the typecasting, i have to admit that at least the asian community is being searched through nonetheless, and in the long run, we will have gained prominence. As more and more doors are appearing before our Asian American thespians and performers, the more the chance grows, see? And yes, with this opportunity, the perception of Asian Americans in the industry shall improve. - Chameleon Thu, 03 Sep 2009 05:25:01 +0100 http://blendedpeopleamerica.com/chameleon/september-09/50-foreign-invasion.html#comment-114 Do you think it will improve the image of asian american's? In your last blog relating to this you mentioned how there was a misconstruety. - Cory Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:09:30 +0100 http://blendedpeopleamerica.com/chameleon/september-09/50-foreign-invasion.html#comment-113 Makes you wonder what the next ten years will bring after the huge advancement we've seen in the past decade. I always laugh when I see a futuristic show like star trek 300 years from now with a full cast of white people. I'm thinking, but isn't the planet going to be a whole lot more diverse??? - Brisbane Lockheart Tue, 01 Sep 2009 16:06:03 +0100 http://blendedpeopleamerica.com/chameleon/september-09/50-foreign-invasion.html#comment-112 I really like this post today. You are very much so right in the transition we are seeing in today's entertainment and I think it's a great thing. It gets really boring and mundane when you see only one face of humanity don't you think? Besides as you said the industry is also following the trend of the nation as a whole. It's becoming much more diverse country. - Bailey Ericks Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:05:44 +0100
