- a) Asian Americans are misrepresented in the American media.
b) American media don’t give Asian American people justice.
c) TV racist - This is a controversial issue because Asian Americans have been part of American society for a long time, but the harmful stereotypes still remain. The American public doesn’t allow Asian Americans to assimilate.
- The point where he mentions the history of mining and railroad works is a really strong point. They really showed that Asian Americans have been part of the American public for a long time and that they have their part in American history.
- Maybe people shouldn’t try to assimilate with each other. Maybe we should just acknowledge that people and cultures are different, so we shouldn’t try to desperately throw away our identities and become like each other. Maybe all we have to do is learn to respect our differences.
Also stop saying “Asian Americans” when you only talk about Chinese Americans. Every time you say “Asian Americans” when exclusively referring to Chinese Americans, people from Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Cyprus, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Turkey, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Yemen cry. - What the Crazy Rich Asians movie thing was about. I’ve heard the name so many times a couple of years ago, but I didn’t even know anything about it past the title.
