Voices: Bruce Lee as a Role Model, ‘Idol’ | NBC Asian America

The only time in America when it was ever cool to be an Asian man

[@kwak76]

Bruce Lee did break allot of stereotypes for Asian men but also stereotyped Asian men. I used to remember way back in High School all the black guys called me Bruce. I'm not sure if they were being racist or it was kind of like a compliment at that time. Now I think about it's more of a racist. I only wish we could have more role models than Bruce Lee. It's just so the limited representation for Asian men in the West.
