Yul Kwon speaks on stereotyping Asian American men

In case you don't know, Yul Kwon was the first ever Asian to win Survivor. In this clip he speaks in San Francisco about how he revolted against these stereotypes.

I agree with him about how only two images of Asian American males dominate television, magazines, and movies. Asians are usually either 'Kung-fu masters' or 'computer geeks.' In both cases, they can hardly speak English or talk to girls. I admire how Yul challenged these stereotypes when he won Survivor and frankly, made it cool to be Asian.

I always found it insulting when these images find their way into movies and television. I mean can't these producers be more creative in their portrayals of Asian Americans! I don't even know any Asian people who practice Kung-Fu and most of the computer geeks I know are white. Check out the video, he says some really interesting things.
