Do you think that the media portrays Asian men in the worst possible light? I'm having an ongoing discussion about this topic with a friend of mine . . . who, yes, happens to be an Asian male.
Update: November 04, 2009. As jpt mentions, the media perpetuates the nerdy/asexual/martial arts stereotypes. They may not be "negative" per se, but wouldn't it be better to promote a perspective of the Asian male as just male and not connected with those stereotypes? Similar to the way actors like Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, Sidney Poitier, etc. changed the black athlete/gang member stereotypes and crossed over into simply leading men type roles? - Asked by carinabay, A Cool Mom, Female, 36-45, Lawyer |
