Where are all the HOT Asians?

When I think of Asian fashion, film, and TV personalities in the US the following ladies come to mind: Sandra Oh, Bai Ling, Devon Aoki, Margaret Cho, and Lisa Ling. However, American film and TV seem to gravitate towards less attractive Asian women and frankly it's really annoying. It's not to say these ladies aren't talented. I LOVE Margaret Cho and Lisa Ling definitely has balls when it comes to the projects she takes on. Plus I still remember Lisa from her days as a lowly anchor on Channel 1 news. I digress. Anyways, my point is that in comparison to some of the actresses abroad, our Asian ladies just fall short. Don't believe me?

Let's start with the Koreans. Korea has some of the hottest actresses around. I realize a lot of them may have had some help from a plastic surgeon but most American actresses have work done as well. Compare Sandra Oh with Song Hae Gyo. Personally, I think Song Hae Gyo is one of the most beautiful women in the world and a great actress. Sandra Oh, well...I often wonder how she made it in the acting business. She's very plain. I probably wouldn't even notice her if she walked down the street.

Alright, as mentioned before I respect Lisa Ling's work. However she looks kind of like her face got stuck in a door jam. Wouldn't you rather hear some hard hitting news from twins May and Choy?

Finally, the train wreck attention whore known as Bai Ling. How many times have you seen her trademark nipple slip? Yeah, enough said. I know some of you may object to Dawn as she has been quite altered surgically and may seem like more of a pseudo celebrity. She does seem to be an attention whore as well which is why I lumped her in with Bai. Anyways...I still think she's cuter.

It just occurred to me that maybe Americans like "exotic" but not "cute." What do you guys think?
