In my last post, Give us a chance, Hollywood, I griped about how asian men are continually snubbed in movies and shows, never allowed to play it out in interracial romances.

My friend Dave — bless his jealous heart — pointed to Daniel Henney.

A google search later, I came across this.

It turns out that Mr. Henney has done quite a few commercials with the very lovely (and might I mention, very white) Gwyneth Paltrow.

See? It’s not so bad.

Come on, Hollywood!

Stuff like this makes me mad.

Because it makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Where, oh where, does that put asian men?

See, asian women have gotten a few breaks over the years. Michelle Yeoh got her mack on with Pierce Brosnan in Tomorrow Never Dies. And Maggie Q was Timothy Olyphant’s sexy partner-in-crime in Die Hard 4.

But when will Hollywood cut asian guys a break?

Surely someone out there finds us marginally attractive. And surely, somewhere out there, in Hollywood-movie land, there’s some desperate and dateless white (or god forbid chocolate-y) girl who’s willing to settle for ’sloppy seconds’.
