To answer your critique, when I speak of Asian Americans, I am mainly referring to the major groups of the Chinese, the Japanese, and Koreans who had a shared experience (and Filippinos, if they choose to fall under this category) at roughly the same time back in the 1800s/1900s. When I mean to be more inclusive, I will say API or say Southeast Asian (which would not make sense in light of this post or the assertion being made). I mean no offense, but realistically, our experience with oppression was different and ours go back hundreds of years in the states. I am aware that there were a few East Indians whose lineage in America goes back farther, but not in sizeable numbers. All you have to do to understand that is to see the gross injustice that was Shyamalan's vision for the films. Perhaps if he had been more understanding of our experiences in the States, he would not have been so privy to do what he did.
