TMZ Gets It Right -- and Wong -- This Time

Yes, TMZ really blew it when we mistook this guy for Lance Ito.


TMZ was at the Asian American Arts Alliance's 25th Anniversary Gala at the Tribeca Rooftop, and we managed to scope a slew of luminaries, including "Heroes" star James Kyson Lee, comedian Margaret Cho, Tony winner B.D. Wong, and even R&B beauty Cassie.

Judge Ito was not in attendance.

5. They already have a white award show. It's called the CMA awards. DUH DUH. But I was wondering, Why was Cassie there? Is she apart of the Asian flock?

8. TMZ,
Please don't use our Asian name to make fun of us. This is mean, and tasteless. Please remove the title, it is offend the Asian.

10. Judge Ito is Japanese-American, B.D. Wong is Chinese-American, Margaret Cho and James Kyson Lee are Korean-Americans, and Cassie is half Filipino. Just because our eyes are shaped the same way does not mean we all look alike!

11. Cassie, Amerie and Kimora Lee-Simmons are all part Asians and African American. Cassie if half Fillipina, the folks I know call them chocolate asians, I think that's cute, since I too, am a chocolate asian.

12. "What Cho Wong with that?" Everything is wrong with that! Am I reading this from a TMZ website or a 10-year old blogger's web page? I did not expect to read this kind of name-calling from TMZ. Also, not all Asian Amerians look like Judge Ito! These kinds of stereotyping promulgate hate and TMZ is doing a great job promoting it. Shame on you!

13. As I caucasion, even I find TMZ's political incorrectness offensive!! And those who find it humourous are a part of the large consuming ignorance that is what America is becoming. TMZ, pull your head out of your ass and think once in a while!!

14. Really? Who can tell the difference between a chinese, japanese and korean! I sure can't and I tried, oh how I have tried!!!
