I can't remember whether we talked about this subject on the list before. But there should be a category for based on a true story or true scenario when they just turn the Asian Americans into white people. At least The Fast and the Furious, and 21, the movie about MIT students counting cards come to mind. I started thinking about this even more when in a class of 19, no one could name a single Asian American man.
