you see chinese superstars all the time like bruce lee, jackie chan, jet li and lucy liu, but you never see japanese superstars

If you're speaking of superstar in terms of movie actors, I think it's a language/money thing.  Japan has a history of samurai movies, which don't generally feature the kind of kung fu we see in Jackie and Bruce's flicks.  A Japanese actor can make a huge paycheck working in films/TV in Japan and don't need to learn English or pander to American audiences.  It's a difficult thing to make yourself a star in America if English isn't your native language.  \n\nAnother problem is Japanese acting technique.  Japanese acting tends to run towards extreme subtlety (woodenness to some audiences) or overt melodrama.  It doesn't really mesh with many American scripts.  \n\nJust a few theories...

Geisha are from Japan, there are not very many of them now, and they are NOT, and NEVER have been, prostitutes or sluts!!!! They normally became the mistress of someone, (because they had to give up being a geisha if they married,) and he would give her 'housekeeping' money, she would have kids with him, but that was ALL!! NOT the same as being a pro OR a slut!! When I hear of the things so-called actresses do today, and I don't hear too many ignoramuses calling THEM pros or sluts, but that's EXACTLY what they are - and then people call geisha 'sluts' just because the 'entertainment' business is now all about sex!! It makes me SICK!!\n\nMovies are NOT the way to find out anything realistic by the way...! Even if they didn't use Chinese actresses, they would still Hollywood-ise everything and corrupt it to the point of being unrecognisable!!!

Because they havent gotten around to solving thier problems within their own territories; like corruption, trafficking...countries like Russia and America are so balanced and developed is because of the time tayve had as one nation which in the case of America is more than a 100 years..whereas many of the Asian countries have only enjoyed a few decades of independence...but stull some of them have achieved what few countries have achieved in more yeras...countries like UAE etc.

Well, it's perfectly normal to ask this question since this must seem like a very unusual social phenomenon to you.\n\nYou must be wondering why people would go crazy over someone who's already no longer in the loop like all the current celebrities like 50 Cents or all the rappers, popstars and female divas who are still alive right?\n\nSit back and read on, the explanation is pretty interesting...\n\nBruce Lee was a Kung Fu icon way back in the 70's.\nThis was a decade that brought Kung Fu to the world of the westerners through the many films and TV shows that Bruce Lee himself starred in. He did for Kung Fu what Elvis did for Rock & Roll.\n\nBut it is interesting to note that while there were many other people who were also in the limelight during that era doing similar things to what Elvis and Bruce did, none achieved the immortality of cult status that Bruce Lee and Elvis Presley enjoyed.\n\nOther people who have lived on with such tenacity even though they have departed from our world include Mother Teresa, Ghandi, Marilyn Monroe and others.\n\nSo you see, it is a very unusual social phenomenon indeed.\n\nYour observation, though casual, reveals that perhaps there is a formula to acheiving cult status that these people have unwittingly attained, conciously or otherwise.\n\nCertainly there were many unique factors contibuting to it. Maybe an early demise at the height of their popularity had something to do with it, but it would be superficial to attribute their immortality to a single factor. Many aspects of their lives and the way it intertwined with society during their careers/lifetime had an influence I'm sure.\n\nTheir life stories and circumstances are worth analysing to find out more. No doubt, if one's wish were to replicate success on such a phenomenal level as theirs, it would be no mean feat. But by studying their lives, we learn how to live ours; no doubt if your wish is to be an immortal, then perhaps they are our greatest teachers.\n\nCheers!\nALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

the only person he might have some trouble with is Jet Li they have the same style and training, the others are just wannabes and could not kick Chuck Morris's butt.

I would believe that Chinese, Korean and Japanese people would be decent at martial arts.  Especially considering that's where it started

no that's not true..it mostly happen because the attitudes of asian women were closely the same as asian men. maybe they believe that its ok to be understood by someone who knew there culture already unlike you who is not an asian man

If they don't show interest when you approach its because they don't find you attractive. Maybe they just don't find asian men attractive or more likely, its just YOU. Perhaps if you weren't so ignorant they would find you more attractive.

I haven't seen that personally.  Actually, according to scientific studies, people with lighter eyes (especially bright blue) tend to have more eye problems than any other eyecolor.  There could be some vitamin or mineral deficiency that Asians have that I am unaware of though.

I have experienced the exact opposite.  White people know that asians have secret powers in every realm imaginable.  They are incredible allies to have!

Jackie Chan can do what he does on his own, Jet li can do what he does only with the help of camera tricks...\n\nkinda like asking who would win, a WWE champ, or a UFC Champ...

Yes, I do. Most of the time I know the artists, and their nationalities. But there are also new songs, new bands or artists, it takes some time to know more about them; most of them just release a single good song, and then you never hear anything about them.
