Rationale
This text type of the written task 1 is an opinion column that focuses on Asian stereotypes that is directed to Han, an Asian character in 2 Broke Girls. The show stereotype Asians by calling Han a person that is suppose to be “smart” and is portrayed as someone work-obsessed, short, socially awkward and unmanly. The task would talk about how all Asians are not the same as what is being stereotyped and how it is dangerous to put stereotyped on a mass media.
The opinion column will represent my opinion regarding the stereotype towards Asian and have the point of view that putting stereotype on a race is wrong. The opinion column itself will be written for Asian Americans and those who watch 2 Broke Girls. Another intended audience …show more content…
One of the main characters, Han Lee, is portrayed as what is defined as being “Asian” in America. He is defined as someone work-obsessed, short, socially awkward and has a feminine side.
