not just asian guys but other minorities too - jews and blacks too.
like i said above the underlying message was about stereotypes, racism and misconceptions of different people in the states (or in the west).
Here you see ethnic minorities lead characters - Harold and Kumar played characters if they were white characters would be considered normal potheads.
But here you have the normal sterotypes challenged and a lot of ethnic americans related to these characters as they felt they were more like them rather than the sterotypes - movies normally portrayed.
Like in this film
indians=doctors - kumar's relatives
orientals = business orientated - princeton korean nerd club
This was a clever comedy- being stoned was only part of it.
Not sure if they will delve much into how muslims are treated in the second film as it is a raw subject.
