East Asians Watched Yellowface And It Will Make You Cringe

    "This guy could be an orc in The Lord of the Rings..."

    Hollywood has had its fair share of controversy in both progressive and, unfortunately, irreverent ways. BuzzFeed Motion Pictures asked East Asians to watch and openly discuss yellowface.

    First performance up for review: Marlon Brando in Teahouse of the August Moon.

    Everything got off to a pretty shocking start.

    Ultimately, the performance left a bad taste in their mouths.

    Next, the gang watched the infamous performance by Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

    People commented that he came off more as a political cartoon than an actual human being.

    They also watched a more recent case of yellowface in Cloud Atlas.

    It wasn't so much the acting that upset them, but rather the character falling into stereotypes.

    And in the end, the group agreed that a change needs to be made in Hollywood in the way Asian culture is perceived.
