There are nearly eighteen million Asian Americans living in the United States; they constitute 6% of the population. Many Asian Americans here are doctors, lawyers, engineers and CEOs. Despite this, Asian Americans are depicted as geeks, gangsters, or geishas in Hollywood films. When it comes to leading roles, they rarely get the roles they deserve and are often portrayed as stereotypes. During the 1930s, the film industry was predominantly run and financed by Anglo-Americans, including playwrights, producers, actors, actresses, and other casting. member. Westerns were popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and in these films Caucasian men acted like Asian Americans instead of hiring Asian Americans. As Hollywood film industries progress further focusing on larger audiences and increasing profits. The film industries began to introduce other characters. In the early 1950s and 1960s, several minority roles were introduced into Hollywood films. Most of the roles were stereotyped and marginalized by one-dimensional ones like servants, maids, etc. These are Cambodians, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Koreans, Indians, Indonesians, Laotians, Malaysians, Thais and Vietnamese all coming together on the same continent. In the last fifteen years after World War II, Vietnamese in the United States were still suffering the pain of the exile of their identity in the media and films. They are the people who are former generals, former school teachers of peasant spies and doctors, but in the films they play servant characters. Asian Americans make up 10% of California's population, but of the 10%, only 1% work in television. Every movie shows Asian women as white man's girlfriends. Sexualized characters are always shown...in the center of the card...an Asian guy, which Hwang called yellowface casting. When the show first opened in New York City in 1990, most Asian theater artists protested, including David Henry Hwang. Thus, we see that the film industry is a powerful form of mass media in our society that provides Americans' perception of what culture looks like and how we treat each other in society. The Hollywood film industry is driven by box office profit and glamour. There is virtually no track record of financially successful films starring an Asian American or any other minority group. The filmmakers don't even consider minorities as potential customers. Even now, most of the time, large companies are reluctant to invest in or promote films for which they do not get a significant return on investment. Making money is the main theme of these industries.
