I think your point was made through hyperbole.

Now, in comparison, imagine white or black actors, politicians, etc. I think you'll find that it's one sided. Also:
- Anna and the King did feature martial arts
- Ang Lee was the FIRST Asian to win an Oscar, which speaks in volumes about my so called hyperbole
- Brokeback Mountain didn't feature one Asian actor
