IMO, Harold and Kumar broke ground in that it features two Asian leads on a very successful Western comedy franchise. I'm not even just saying that as a joke. It's just nice to see some Asians in something other than Kung Fu and Bollywood films. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Martial Arts flicks but if you want to talk about bridging the cultural gap rather than further alienating cultures like a lot of movies that only concentrate on cultural extremes do, H&K does the job. I do get what you mean though, they were trying to show, "This is what Chinese people do.", but that pretty much just unintentionally typecasted an entire nation.
