Harold & Kumar Go To...Fight White Power?
Published January 05, 2005
So what is the easiest, most subtle way for the film establishment to welcome these minorities into mainstream characterhood? The cinematic tablet easiest to swallow (and responsible for the negative images in the first place): the comedy or more specifically, the stoner comedy. Amazing to think a dime bag, glass bong and some hamburgers can try to right the wrongs of previous media injustices for a whole new generation of eyes and minds.

Nice review. That's sort of the same way I felt about Better Luck Tomorrow. While watching both movies, I didn't even notice that it was a movie starring Asian Americans rather, I felt that I was just watching a movie about Americans in general. Then again, I'm Asian American, so I could be biased.
I haven't yet seen "Harold and Kumar ..." but from the trailer, it looks like a good double bill with "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid".
