Nobody's mentioned Michelle Yeoh? :cry (or they have and I missed it) She's my fave Asian hottie!

Well, maybe she's not HUGE, but she's definitely been in a lot of American movies as well, one of the latest being the last Mummy movie. People may also recognize her from Memoirs of a Geisha, Supercop, and, oh, BOND. <3 Her and Zhang Ziyi are probably the two biggest female Asian martial artists (although Michelle would technically be bigger I guess, but Zhang is younger) in the west.

Huh? Government studies have proven that only a small portion of the population has European blood. That's my point. I'm not talking about beliefs or whatever you're saying. I know a lot of Filipinos who are like ~omg im spanish~ just to appear cooler or something, but truth be told there are very few actual mestizos.

but okay, I understand what you're saying.

I don't really know how to define it the term "Make it big" so I'm just going to list people I think the common person would recognize lol

Ken Watanabe, Zhang Ziyi, definitely, she's quite big in the fashion world too. She's been featured as a model in Vogue, and she was at the Met Superhero thing last year...

the cast of Memoirs of a Geisha :laugh a lot of those actresses have been in multiple movies...though people probably don't know them by name...except maybe Michelle Yeoh

and...

hmmm....lol

that guy from harold and kumar? I forgot both their names actually lol

as far as music goes...I have no idea...Bjork? does she count?

It really depends on where you go doesn't it...If you live where there's a large Asian population...there's a greater chance you'll know of more people...

Bjork's not Asian, genius. She's icelandic.

^yes that was pointed out, to which I replied "I heard from somewhere she was half asian"

I don't listen to Bjork. I don't see her music videos, I don't know anything about her. Sorry for bringing her up.
