Only one I could come up with off hand is Jeremy Lin, NBA player. I can think of a couple more, but I don't know their names. The monk who was opposite Stephan Strange in the MCU, but I don't know what his name is. There is the guy who was Takamura in The Last Samurai. Of course we all know about dipshit mega-progressive George Takei, of course.
Last Samurai guy was Ken Watanabe. I looked it up and he was born in Japan and apparently is not an American citizen or resident. I read an article a couple years ago where some journalist tried to get him to bag on The Last Samurai because of its white savior undertones and he defended the film, so props to him for that.
The "Asian American" qualifier seems so arbitrary. We all know famous Asian people, why does it matter if they're not also American?
