== Criticism ==

It's a common complaint in the Asian American community against Ken Jeong that he engages in active yellowface. His characters like in Community and Hangover build off the "Yellow Peril" stereotype (it's like an ape for African Americans). That hurts other Asian American actors who want to play real roles on movies instead of a yellow buffoon.

A section [http://www.examiner.com/x-4211-SF-Asian-American-Movie-Examiner~y2009m7d2-Is-Ken-Jeongs-character-Mr-Chow-in-The-Hangover-a-racist-stereotype criticism] might be worth including. Alternatively his style of his comedy and the roles he has done tend to play to stereotypes could be noted and the reader left to draw their own conclusions rather than including the criticism in a more direct manner. He needs to let himself have more positive roles so fellow Asians could have a chance to be represented fairly instead of taking on over the top, unfunny, cheesy ventures all just to get attention and money. -- [[User:Horkana|Horkana]] ([[User talk:Horkana|talk]]) 15:46, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't think there have been notable crticisms of him. [[Special:Contributions/71.184.251.201|71.184.251.201]] ([[User talk:71.184.251.201|talk]]) 22:56, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

:Furthermore I don't think he acts in a stereotypical fashion. Just because he does not often play portray positive role models often does not make his roles stereotypical. The only thing stereotypical about his characters that I can think of is Chow's accent in Hangover, which is a pretty minor thing in the grand scheme of things. [[User:CapnLilNemo|CapnLilNemo]] ([[User talk:CapnLilNemo|talk]]) 18:19, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

The only criticism appears to be from the original poster. I can't find anything negative about him.

Here are some sources of criticism: <br />

== First Film ==

Uncle P was Jeong's first film, not Knocked Up. According to resources, it was made in 2005 and may have been re-released or officially released in 2007 before/during Knocked Up (even if it wasn't, Uncle P is technically his debut -- like it or not). Watching it, you can clearly see it was older than 2007. He played the "bag boy". You can view some sources below to verify/research this (please correct the sentence about Knocked Up being his debut film in the article since for some odd reason it is edit-protected as if he's too important/popular/controversial to be touched):

Is there any sources out there as to how his name is officially spelled out in Hangul? It'd be helpful to include into the article. [[User:Rebel shadow|Rebel shadow]] ([[User talk:Rebel shadow|talk]]) 19:49, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
It states "Jeong was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Korean immigrants Young and D.K. Jeong, who was a professor at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina for 35 years.[3][4]" but since he is only 41, he's been a doctor since he was 6? Maybe it's 3.5 years?

His TV credits need to be updated. I just watched him appear in an episode of Mary Shelley's Frankenhole that aired March 18, 2012, titled "Maly Sherrey's Hyralius, Mutant Monster!" and his role was the Hyralius character. That is from season two, episode 9 of the series. Thanks.

There's a problem with the source in that the link leads to an error page (it was a session time-out error the first time I checked it and a "missing parameters" error the second time). Now, I was able to verify the claim by going to the homepage and doing a new search for "Kendrick Jeong", so I'm not suggesting it's unverifiable. But having a link that leads to an error page is not a well-formed citation. I'm unsure how to handle it, as it's a primary source and we don't have a template for citing primary records like this. For now, I'm going to change the citation to the relevant information (license number, state of license, etc.) but if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve this, I'd appreciate it. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">[[User:MjolnirPants|<font color="green">'''ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants'''</font>]] [[User_talk:MjolnirPants|<small>Tell me all about it.</small>]]</span> 00:37, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
