I have never really thought about the extent to which Asians are stereotyped before. After I read this article, I thought about all the other things I've learned this semester and I've come to a conclusion - dannnng, we are a nation of stereotypers! There are expected actions and view points, and certain way we perceive people - even if we don't realize it. I have never actually thought about the things this article pointed out, and I think that, in and of itself, is crazy!
- Asian women = Lotus Blossom in advertising - delicate, submissive, pure
- Asian men = Never seen as love interests in movies, are only known for their martial arts fights scenes.
- Asians in general = are perceived to be smarter and bring in more income than they actually do.
And I never really even realized that this happened. Why?
