Brief Summary:

In Tristan Chau’s excerpt about equality, he explains the view of Asian-Americans in the United States. In America, Chinese people are all seen as foreigners even if they were born and raised in the Untied States. For many years, Chinese immigrants have been mocked and seen as danger by the American people. Since then, many stereotypes about Chinese people have been brought to light. Chau shows how the entertainment industry feeds into these stereotypes and promotes them for higher ratings. These producers, some being Asian, see it as an opportunity to make a bigger profit, but do not realize that they are only adding onto the conflict between Chinese people and Americans that began centuries ago. 

Analysis Through Organization: 

Chau does a great job in expressing his claim through examples. His paragraphs are organized well and lead from one idea to the next smoothly. In the beginning of his excerpt, he explains the history between the Chinese people and the American people. This is very important to include because it gives the reader the knowledge necessary to understand the argument Chau is presenting. He then gets into his first example of Asian-Americans viewed in Crazy Rich Asians. He develops a well-organized argument on how producers portray Chinese people in a very stereotypical way to get higher ratings and make more profit. Lastly, he speaks about the show Fresh Off The Boat. After watching Crazy Rich Asians, he had hope that this show would do a better job in portraying the fully Asian Cast. He revels that he was wrong and concludes his argument by expressing his disappointment about the filmmaking industry as a Chinese-American in his own right.
