Diversity In Rush Hour 10/5/15

In the trilogy of Rush Hour, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker both have poor representations of Chinese-American and African American throughout the entire movie. The Chinese are known to be very respectful, hard working, and have much wisdom contributing to each other and showing tough love. In the film Jackie Chan is portrayed to have a scratchy voice on the form of a Chinese/Vietnamese man, to be intelligent in Martial Arts, and have high respect. This may not be much disrespect or diversity in the film to the Chinese at first, buy many actors whom are Asian, Chinese, Vietnamese, are told to appear and speak in the form of mockery voices, instead of speaking proper English, many producers tell them to speak or try hard to speak in the Chinese language as if they were telling a joke. Chris Tucker on the other hand is also told to be portrayed as a loud, funny and the good sidekick. Chris Tucker throughout the movie makes funny jokes towards Jackie Chan and all the Chinese people throughout the movie, not so much in a racist way, but in a comedic everything that i say is alright as long as i don't go too far. There are both comedic reliefs towards African American and Chinese American in the movie, such as Chris Tucker pretending to not uderstand Lee and othr side actor and Jackie Chan acting loud and messing around such as Chris Tucker does throughout the movie.

The women in the movies are smart, beautiful, and fighters, the two of the three represent Geisha's which in Japanese culture are to never be known as prostitutes. Of course the producers make Chris Tucker appear as the man who would take some prostitutes in some scenes choosing from many women, multiple in fact to where he jokes around about having them in his hands. In the movie all we really see is Chinese American people, we see the bad guys portrayed as Chinese American smart evil geniuses, the irony of how movies were once portrayed since film started, continues on but not as serious as today, where many movies create comedic relief and irony in every possible way to take away the viewers from looking at the race of an individual.
