Quoting from a recent interview by May Seah, i liked what i read, especially a portion -
When asked by the interviewer numerous questions, this stood out and caught my eye...
May Seah: Would you aim for Hollywood?
Tay Ping Hui: I would be pragmatic. I'd like to aim for Asia, if I can, because Hollywood is not just about how good you are anymore - it's also about race. I don't want to fit into a typical stereotype of what Hollywood has of Asia, because sometimes I find it quite insulting. The Chinese guy is not about gongfu. It's not about us being the descendants of the Dragon; we're not some triad gangster or Chinatown thug.
.
Bingo! We do have OUR identity, so why are we being stereo-typed upon?
Peeps, what do you think? Hmm...
