This is more news about the upcoming ‘21’ blackjack movie, with racist casting.  Not only were ‘Ben Campbell’ and ‘Steve Fisher’ real-life Asian Americans Jeff Ma and Mike Aponte, but the teacher/professor ‘Mickey Rosa’ was also Asian American John Chang (scroll to the bottom). 

Here is a very interesting, extended interview with John Chang about his 20+ year involvement with the MIT blackjack team.

You can read more about lots of other things at his recently created website:

From the ‘about’ section of his website…
“Why this site?’
John Chang: “To set the record straight. I’ve tried to ignore Mezrich’s books, but the impending release of the 21 movie is just too much to ignore.”

I wonder if all this outrage will do anything about the movie.

I’m glad they’re starting to finally speak out. You can’t really be angry about this if they aren’t.

I want to see the 21 movie but then again I don’t want to support it.
