Linsanity the Movie

Thank you.

 

No clue but they said they plan to use a lot of game footage (go figure) and NBA licensing fees are supposedly very high. Other documentary probably doesn't have this issue.

 

For sure, it's progress. Hey, the world is changing very rapidly. In 2012, you could easily argue that the two biggest and most popular global pop culture icons were Asian guys: Jeremy Lin and Psy.

Thank god I'm alive in this era, and not the 1980s or something.

 

Things have been moving along nicely for Asians in American culture these past few years. 2 or 3 years ago Ed Wang became the first Chinese American to get drafted into the NFL (unfortunately he was a bust), and recently Far East Movement became the first all Asian band to make it to #1 on the BillBoard charts.

 

They should make a movie called "The Veto" which would document the infamous vetoed trade, and its effects throughout the league (Lin in New York, Davis going to the Hornets, OKC trading Harden here, Nene ending up on the Wizards).

 

I honestly don't care about culture, and I hate all the Asian pride/White pride/Black pride/short people pride/ugly people pride equally.

And it amazes me how you compare the situations with Asians to blacks, an Asian-American has the same rights as a Caucasian-American.

Maybe if more people like you stopped focusing on what makes us different, then I won't have to be "racist" and a "self hating asian"

 

From a legal standpoint, obviously. But are you saying that an Asian-American is treated exactly the same as a Caucasian-American? Like an Asian-American could run for president right now and nobody would care about his/her race? Nobody would question his/her true loyalty or his/her inherent leadership abilities?

Seriously?

 

No that is not what I said , I told you fools to stop comparing the situation with Asian Americans and blacks, like bringing up Martin Luther King Jr, please spare me .

If the Asian-American ran for president, a large majority of Asian-Americans will vote for him purely based on his race and not because of his policies etc. Racists!

Like I said, instead of focusing on what makes us different, if more people focused on what makes us similar and stopped all the "race X characteristic Y pride!" nonsense, it will stop becoming a big deal.

 

Depends on the situation.

For examples a bunch of people joined Clutchfans cause of one Asian American and continuously drop the issue of race in the basketball forum to hide their actual knowledge of basketball.

 

And I bet Blacks shouldn't have complained and tried to make things better in the 1950s because they had it better than the Jews in Nazi Germany, or Soviet dissidents in 1930s USSR, right?

Come on now.

Very few people have compared Jeremy Lin to MLK of all people. If they did, they're probably just trolls. IMHO, the most apt comparison would be Warren Moon or Doug Williams.

If an Asian-American ran for president, a ton of people wouldn't vote for him because PEARL HARBOR. And because all them Chinamen are all spies.

You seem to have a problem differentiating between racial pride movements, and attempts to recognize and fix race-based problems in American society.

Were you some kind of hardcore AZN "thug" who went way overboard in his high school days, and is now living in eternal embarrassment? Trust me when I say that there's a fair middle ground between that extreme and the one you're espousing now.

 

What YaoMac09 is saying, is that if you ignore racism, it will go away.

And no one should ever bring up MLK Jr in any discussion of racism, because he is above discussion.

Some people should look up the meaning of institutional racism.

I know. Those Asian-Americans are just so privileged. Masters of American society, they are, aren't they?

 

Wow you people are amazing, keep crying about how unfair life is keep carrying that chip on your shoulder.

 

The Jeremy Lin documentary is a documentary about Jeremy Lin.

It's not about why Asian Americans can't play Luke Skywalker in the next Star Wars movies.

In fact, it's a documentary about how Jeremy Lin got his fame through basketball.

Either the documentary is good, average, or it sucks.

If you are watching it for race and not content, then you aren't watching it, you are just looking for things.

Most Clutchfans here don't like Knicks fans pretending to be Rockets fans. That includes all races.

 

Go on and life your life in ignorance and stop whining about the "whiners".

 

anyone know if and when they might show this at the sundance in downtown

 

Do a google search with gamer4life, realgm, and racist/racism.

 

haha. that is the best.
