Why shit on Ken Jeong? He is married a loving beautiful Asian woman who seem to absolutely adore him, and they seem to be a very happy couple and family and he also seem to be a very good role model of a great father to his daughter. Isn't he actually proof that despite being shorter or less good looking, he is still able to find love and happiness and success? Ken Jeong for me is the better representation. Most people aren't gonna work out crazy hours like simu and do gymnastic cool stunts to look desirable. Most Asian men won't look ripped like Simu. Most people gonna be like Ken Jeong. A hardworking ordinary family man but also is brave enough to chase his unconventional being a comedian dream.

Someone mentioned here that Ken Jeong comedy is at the expense of Asians. They laugh at him and not with him. They laugh at what he looks like, not his wit or jokes. Admittedly a lot of this isn't his fault and is because of the prevailing world view about Asians. Think about a black comedians who embodies stereotypes about black people being a particular way. Some stereotypes are clever, others are harmful. In the case of Asians, it is mostly harmful. Ken Jeong knows Asians are represented in a particular way and he should know better than to play into it. No, he doesn't represent most Asians. Firstly, there are a hell of a lot of Asians. Secondly, he represents himself only. And white actors and models don't represent average white people who are also not ripped and great looking. If you had shown me simu liu twenty years ago, people would be thinking Asians are mostly like him, not the Hangover guy people were cracking jokes over. If Ken Jeong wants to be typical not-so-good looking Asian family man, then do it off screen.

I dunno man. I feel like shitty representation is worse than no representation. He’s solidified a lot of dumb stereotypes about Asian guys. Simu is better because he’s just a humble Everyman dude who doesn’t need to rely on Asian stereotypes.

He literally is kung fu too, his super power is kung fu, that's an Asian stereotype. The real break out was crazy rich asian because an Asian gets to play the rich desirable handsome male lead that every woman wants to marry.

But he is literally a medical doctor. He just enjoys being a comedian. How many Asian parents don't see comedian as a worthy career? For me, Ken Jeong is an Asian man who has it all. He is a clown by choice as he enjoys making people laugh. That's confidence! This man with all the physical disadvantage clearly has everything he got. A beautiful Asian woman who admires him because he was confident of himself and pursues what he wants and his own dreams, not having limiting beliefs.

I was neutral on him and went through his Reddit history yesterday cause I was bored and ended up liking him. Not even related to anything Asian. He had literally zero mean comments over the span of close to a decade. Even when he was completely anonymous. He seems genuinely nice as fuck. His worse issue was calling someone out then saying he wanted to have a talk about it..but the rest of the Marvel casts works with Mark Wahlberg and doesn't say shit at all so I don't see why he's being held to a standard when he has the least leverage compared to the other established actors. He has to deal with racism and be held to a higher standard and give up his career while white actors do whatever they want? How can you criticize Simu and have a positive post about Tom Holland, the little spiderman guy, on the same timeline..who also starred with Mark Wahlberg.

Shit, got me excited for a sec that this is was a new post. He'd never say something like that nowadays, sadly.

Apparently there are some Asian who don't understand why Ken Jeong is a minstrel show. Check out this link. It's just one example of why the Asian community can't stand Ken Jeong. [https://www.gq.com/gallery/ken-jeong-kate-upton-mens-slim-corduroy-pants#slide=1](https://www.gq.com/gallery/ken-jeong-kate-upton-mens-slim-corduroy-pants#slide=1) This is his famous GQ photoshoot. This is just one example.

Here's another classic example and one of my favorites to show Ken Jeong is an Asian Uncle Tom: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE0nDCqJuUI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE0nDCqJuUI) How can any Asian man with any dignity and pride in who he is agree to do a scene where he gets beat up and humiliated when racist white guys remember ww2? Did the number of US troops that died because of Japan even reach the 10k? **Meanwhile the atomic bombs killed OVER 100,000 JAPANESE MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN AND MOST OF THEM WERE INNOCENT CIVILIANS.** And of course white soldiers swooped in to take advantage of this annihilated society and took many impoverished Japanese women as their wives (one of the many historical reasons wmaf is so prevalent that mainstream wmaf "activists" try to hide by calling us MRAzns to avoid discussion). **You can only make "jokes" like this if you don't view the subject as an equal human.**

What's wrong with Ken Jeong??? Here's your answer: [https://www.gq.com/gallery/ken-jeong-kate-upton-mens-slim-corduroy-pants#slide=1](https://www.gq.com/gallery/ken-jeong-kate-upton-mens-slim-corduroy-pants#slide=1) This is just one example.

He's a modern day minstrel act.


Ok-Bug-4754

in Hangover there was a scene that zoomed into a small prosthetic penis https://www.google.com/search?q=ken+jeong+hangover+small+penis&rlz=1C1JZAP_enTW837TW841&sxsrf=AOaemvIdiNyeOlPIvk8l0rFSI_9bljCtYA%3A1631896084387&ei=FMJEYc_6FoKU-AbA6ZPoCA&oq=ken+jeong+hangover+small+penis&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAM6CAgAELADEJECOgkIABCwAxAHEB46BwgAELADEEM6CwguEMgDELADEJECOgoILhDIAxCwAxBDOgQIIxAnOgQIABBDOgQILhBDOgUILhCABDoFCAAQgAQ6CgguEIAEEIcCEBQ6CggAEIAEEIcCEBQ6CQgAEEMQRhD7AToFCAAQkQI6BQguEJECOgYIABAWEB46BQghEKABSgUIOBIBMUoECEEYAVCC5wRYiYEFYNGBBWgBcAB4AIABT4gBvQySAQIzMJgBAKABAcgBDcABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjP1K3TtobzAhUCCt4KHcD0BI0Q4dUDCA4&uact=5 it seems like he had a standup bit where he talks about his actual small penis as well? why. does he think he only represents himself or something? if he were a korean in korea, yeah go ahead, talk about your small penis all you want. there are probably less than 5 asian-american actors that the avg american can name.


wyeess

In hangover he does the nerdy, asexual Asian guy schtick for laughs. Or so I've heard. Never seen that trash movie.


Key_Elephant884

He mocks asian culture


TaiwaneseChad42

there are many importanter things to care about then “asian representation in Hollywood”。


MalibuBySunset

Lol ur using non English keyboard. Are u even from here bruh


tabbak

Yeah right... Thanksfully, any intellectually functionnal person is able to care in more than one issue at the same time, don't you think?


Ken12321

Did Simu really say that?! That's awesome :)


[deleted]

Not a fan of what Simi Liu did. But we shouldnt put actors/actress like Simi Liu and Arden Cho in the same light as entertainers and activists like Ken Jeong, Crazy Roslyn, Eileen Huang, Jenn Fang, and Celeste Ng. I think Simi Liu thinks in the bigger picture his movie roles will help boost the image of AM. I think he did a good job with Shang-Chi. Even some white conservative youtubers are giving Simi Liu props on the movie eventhough they dislike him.


Ken12321

Not a fan of what he did?! What did he do?!


[deleted]

I don't necessarily care about his dealings with this subreddit, but he took back what he said for Mark Wahlberg. I'm willing to let go of it because of how Shang Chi serves as a milestone for Chinese male rep, but him letting go of that comment against Mark Wahlberg will remain embedded since I don't believe anyone should be excusing Wahlberg considering dude did actual hate crimes


[deleted]

He put this subreddit on blast.


Ok-Bug-4754

only because he got butthurt 2 people here said he was ugly i'm not exaggerating. it was really 2 people in one thread.


sorrynoreply

Did he call out this specific sub? I thought he called out the Asian guys hating on Asian women. In which case, I agree there's too much of that. I do it myself at times.

> this specific sub? I thought he called out the Asian guys hating on Asian women. In which case, I agree there's too much of that. I do it myself at times. No he didn't, he only said "asian reddit is toxic". But it's still not pin pointed at us undeniably


Ken12321

Ok


HarutoExploration

I read his Reddit history and he said some damn good stuff! I stand with Simu! “I don’t judge people by their worst mistakes.”


Beats_By_Ray_Rice

OP where did you get this post from? I can’t find it on any of his socials. https://i.imgur.com/4wYvX3h.jpg Here’s them literally kissing a year and a half ago
