Hell, the man presenting an award was being racist, discriminatory and nearly beat an Asian man to death before he was famous.

​@@thecustomconcern shit that's a good point. As far as I can tell Mark has changed his ways since he was young, but yeah, their gang was specifically targeting Asian people

@@stephengrigg5988 Yeah, he may have, my point was more so to the original comment saying James won’t let people forget, when there really isn’t much to forget when the man handing out the award himself was responsible for racist attacks. Kind of tone deaf on the SAG Award producers part, though they may just not be aware.

What fkng discrimination.... Get fkng real.

​@@thecustomconcern mark wahlberg...yea he had a bad past. But hes found Jesus as he claims....he forgives all.

I thought I recognized his face.

Don't forget he's also Chi-Fu, that annoying Emperor's advisor from Mulan

Don’t forget he’s Lo Pan of Big Trouble in Little China with Kurt Russell.

Don't forget he played Chew the eye maker in Blade Runner. Short but memorable and impactful.

Or the Father on Waynes World or the old Asian guy in Crank 2

All he has to do is find a green-eyed virgin and he'll live forever

@@makeitthrough_ Beat me to it.

No way hes 94, he look 70 to me

For real!!!! I was just about to comment that but let's get this comment up because ppl don't believe he's in he is 94!

At 94, he’s still laying out the zingers! He’s still a working actor on TV shows and movies.

James Hong literally got into showbiz through Clark Gables/Groucho Marx and co-founded the East-West Players with Mako. The man has seen shit.

When or what year did James break into Hollywood? Clark Gable died in '60, so it must have been before then.

@@shihlin1 Hong's first movie was Soldier of Fortune in 1955. Think his Groucho appearance was 1954.

@@benwasserman8223 Wow.... thanks.

@@benwasserman8223That man is living Hollywood history.

Right, bigot alert

The irony 🤣

Tbh he's served his time, not saying there isn't irony because there definitely is but if we don't allow rehabilitation there's no point.

@@Goole1947 absolutely and I do think he is a changed person or at least I would hope so but the irony still lives there. It's like a movie where Tim Allen please a cop trying to bust to cocaine ring

@@Goole1947 wait til someone blinds your father for his race

Yeah but atleast he forgave himself that’s all that matters.

@@annieapple8974 He forgave himself for hating Asians? LOL. As if forgiving yourself equates to making amends with the people you've wronged.

@@KingKwon I think Annie is being sarcastic

The "look at us now" is for all the Marks 💅

Yeah found that little cringey considering he beat up an Asian guy hate crime and Asian guy is apparently still handicapped from it, then he went on a hate crime gang fighting a black guy…so yeah cringey

Explaining the amount of confidence and miseducation some people have, in themselves and their "preferences" or "beliefs" over others, can be very difficult, sometimes. I just saw tiktok of a young Asian woman, responding to a comment on a previous post, which said something about being more grateful for the white people who invented her iphone. I wish I could link it, because her response was exemplary in explaining how different people, of different ethnicities, invented different technologies, in different eras, that all led to the "invention" of our phones. How history is taught to, at the least, puff some people up as if their people were the only heroes, if not also ignore or remove the histories of "others", to continue their superiority complex. We're seeing it again, with the "who cares??" folk, who still don't want to acknowledge the significance of this moment, for Asian history, film history, and human history.

You have to aware of the time period in which stuff like that happened. Society had way less celebrities back in the day and name recognition was one of the most important factors when casting stars. So back then you would see movies casting the same handful of actors over and over again. You check out some actors filmographies and you'll see them be in multiple movies released in a very small time frame. It created a vicious cycle that prevented other actors from getting big roles. This also effected POC but I won't say racism was the only factor or a non-factor. If you were to make a movie at the time and wanted it to make a profit, would you cast the guy named Jing Pei that no one has ever heard of or are you gonna cast the dude that was in seven box office smashers? If you go further back in time you'll also remember that white dudes played the female roles in Shakespeare plays. So over time we have progressed as a society when it comes to properly representing people when telling stories. Good movies, shows, whatever will always get acknowledged regardless of who is in them.

They even did that Black and Latinos. Yt people have a crazy level of delusion. It’s why they get upset when tinkerbell and Little Mermaid aren’t blacks.

You know that was back in the 1930s so it's a little bit different now

One word answer suffices in these shtuations America ​@@kyledavid

It really doesn’t . Audiences aren’t going to go see a film with actors with disabilities . The reason this film is so good because it could be any family

@@Wolversquall so… representation doesn’t matter to everyone? I don’t think you made the point you think you did.

@@trinitym5552 oh ok. Well people should speak for themselves. Because I would go see it. The Sound of Metal was a damn good movie.

@@Wolversquall i don’t think you realize how common disabilities are. around 16% of people (1 in 6) worldwide live with a significant disability. in the US, up to 26% of people (1 in 4) have some sort of disability. there already are disabled actors, you just don’t seen them as such because your understanding of disability is extremely narrow. but like many minorities, we still deserve much more representation than we get.

No one said asians werent good enough. Stop putting words into people's mouths

@@Woodsaras watch the video.

Relax. Look at the roles James Hong has had in movies. He's been perpetuating Asian stereotypes for decades.

@@mattb8754 As he's said in past interviews, if you didn't take stereotypical roles as an Asian American in the past, you didn't work.

@Antalyan Junction interesting because at first he said asians werent good enough to play asians. Sounds kinda contradictory. Nah instead he chose those roles. Like 2007 Balls of Fury where he perpetuated a stereotype as a king fu ping pong master? Or 2021 when he voiced a king fu master in a batman animated movie? The guy perpetuated Asian stereotypes by only accepting those kinds of roles.

You may wonder why it took until now to get James Hong a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. But had it not been for the success of "Everything Everywhere" James might still NOT get a star. That's the practical reality of Hollywood for you. This man has prob experienced the dirtiest form of Racism in Hollywood, but he's not writing a tell all bc he believes in being dignified even tho some have not been dignified towards him. He's long overdue !

Yes love him in Big Trouble Little China and he was the funny loving caring duck father of Poh in Kung Fu Panda.

He also had a great little part in the original Blade Runner. Of course Rutger Hauer stole every scene he was in, but Hong’s role opposite him is extremely memorable.

nah

​@@TheHailstorm77 I was going to mention Big Trouble in Little China. I loved him in that movie. One of my favorite movies as a kid.

You never could beat me, Egg Shen.

Hmmmm, nice knife.

He'll always be Lo Pan to me.

You were not put on this earth to GET IT, Mr. Burton

Now this really pisses me off to no end.

Likewise. But don’t forget Blade Runner.

Yes BTILC is one of my favorite movies of his. I loved him in all his villain roles growing up. Don't forget his roles in the X files as well.

Yessss to that.

Late? You think the world is ending tomorrow? Time takes time. That-s all. There's time ahead for good things

Baby steps, at least

Oh yeah back in the 1930s when the pool of actors was so deep and readily available. Also this comment makes no sense. Just because you're too ignorant to go watch French or Asian or African movies does it mean they don't exist. There's an entire culture beyond America. Stop living in a bubble.

@@pwd1134 your so triiiiiiggerrrrrrrrrrrd you gotta give orders? Sore, but

Probably because his hate crimes are on the back of his mind

Or even casting John Wayne as Genghis Khan in 1956 film The Conqueror 😮

Tf did Jon Hamm do?

jon hamm did what?

Was thinking the same thing watching him present this. Wonder if it was intentional at all. Hollywood really needs to stop talking out of both sides of their mouth, can’t champion diversity in one breath while letting people with sordid racist pasts walk around as “movie stars”

THIS 🎯 why tf is mark wahlberg not cancelled already. Disgusting

​@@Pepperz543"sordid racist pasts..." Are people not allowed to mature and change? What he did was absolutely disgusting, but he was young... a kid - maybe not literally or physically, but might as well have been - certainly was a child mentally. If someone has shown themselves to not be that person or like that person anymore, and they've grown up, there's no reason to deny them such a career. I highly doubt the man - or at least doubt he still is - a racist, or someone prone to racial violence. Also, as a celebrity/movie star, he's used his fame for charitable causes and philanthropic endeavors. So his being a movie star, and the rewards it brings, has been beneficial to others.

This comment is gross and there was no need to write this

@@VelvetDreams666 That's your opinion, and your opinion doesn't determine "need".

@@VelvetDreams666 Also, you might not share the sentiment, but a lot of people are tired of the blacks demanding special treatment in every aspect of life, especially in cinema.

This comment is tone deaf...I bet you don't have any black friends and I said it plural friendS that you actually have a long friendship with...do you?

why are you tearing down another race? why do you feel the need to be racist to feel secure?
