China, and Eight other nations on “Priority Watch List” for not protecting American producers
The Bush administration has accused China, and eight other nations of not protecting American producers of movies, computer software and other copyrighted material from widespread piracy.
In addition to China, eight other nations have all been placed on a “Priority Watch List” for piracy: Russia, Argentina, Chile, India, Israel, Pakistan, Thailand and Venezuela. The placement of these countries on this list subjects them to increased scrutiny and could lead to economic sanctions.

When it comes to American producers of movies, no one should be under any obligation to protect Hollywood’s copyrighted material until racist and discriminatory casting policies against Asians are put to an end. To mercilessly subject Asian audiences to Hollywood’s poisonous, diversity-negligent images and then force them to pay for such filth evokes memories of the Opium Wars of the mid-19th Century.

A new wave of Asian Americans makes significant strides
Asian-American now invades the TV and Film industry; many of the Asian-American are now playing lead roles on television and movies. They are not doing the usual roles that most Asians do, like martial arts that Jackie Chan always does.
Before, they have been behind the lime light playing roles that are ethnic specific meaning roles that they just play, but not portray.
Recently, Hollywood did bring out the best in Asian-American people; they have done major roles in very popular movies like Charlie’s Angels and television programs like Grey’s Anatomy and Heroes. All of these just proved that Asian-American cannot only do commercials but they can be the main focus of the camera as well.
Possible hate crime in Windsor
Vandalism boils down to “hate crime”… KKK group was the one who burned down the property of an ethnic minority in Windsor. Hmong family was attacked by a group of white citizens that have burned their truck and written “KKK” on both sides.
