No Hop Sing, No Bruce Lee, What do you do when none of your heroes look like you?
Images of Asian males propagated by Western mass media are of silent, sex-less, obedient houseboys or mystic martial arts masters. Invisibility is implied in this single-dimensional representation of Asian men. No Hop Sing, challenges these stereo types as Asian American men speak candidly about the myth and their identity.
