    I think martial arts is a business just like any other business, its got nothing to do with  ones being an Asian ethnic to be called a master in martial arts its just the foundation  and image is belong to the Asian ethnic people so thats why a human being  with Asian features always seen as one , but if it was first founded and thought by Caucasians or African ethnic people , im sure the image would be one of that as the founder or creator .

      

    The worse thing in martial arts is mixing up the movie actors with real  martial artists , for instance bruce lee who was just  an actor and kung fu movies made him  as if he was this unbeatable master which was not true ,because bl was an actor with a limited knowledge of wing chun and a child actor way before that. 

    Most real martial artist and fighters who were never in movies are the real masters in Martial Arts or sometimes real fighters but later turned into acting in such movies.

    So its little bit of real stuff but mostly fantasy and myth ,,

    There are very few good Asian martial artists.  The best UFC heavyweight is white, Stipe Miocic,  and the rest of the divisions are either black, white or hispanic.  There are no Asian champions.

    That's stereotyping isn,t it?

    In Asia, most kids or teens spend most of their time studying, and don't have time to train martial arts. After they get into the workforce, they are too busy working.

    Movies are not real. Learn to tell the difference between make-believe and real life.

    No, of course not. Its a terribly racist stereotype that every single asian person is some sort of secret kung fu master.
