[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a female Euasian (i.e. half Asian/Caucasian). I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I already wish that the Americanized female role of Rachel would have been played by an Eurasian, instead of Nick’s role who was played by an Eurasian. [/quote]

But Rachel isn't Eurasian. She was full Chinese.[/quote]

Plus, Rachel's being ABC, but born in China is important to why Nick's mother and Ahma object to her. It becomes crucial to the plot in China Rich Girlfriend , as well.[/quote]

The character Nick isn’t half-white either, but the actor is. [/quote]

I thought it was really odd that they picked a half white actor to play the part of a full Chinese man[/quote]

They had a hard time finding a fully-Asian leading man. They approached drama schools all over the West and were told such a guy wasn't in their radars. Chu learned of Golding through their accountant in KL. I think he suits the role because he does look manly, handsome and charismatic. If I had to pick another good-looking Asian male lead, I'd go with [b]Daniel Henney[/b] but maybe he's too old for the part?[/quote]

He's also biracial -- half irish[/quote]

True that but he also fits the leading man sexy role. I dont know if he was considered for the role of Nick but he was great in the Korean rom-com "Seducing Mr. Perfect".
