    Invisible and Struggling Asian Americans are generally known for their diligent work ethics, their high levels of education and the high paying job that follows from their education. This stereotype is even supported with statistical data, Asian Americans holding a higher median household income, $66,000, compared to the general population’s $49,800 (Pew Research Center). With a rise in Asian immigrants and the Asian American populace as a whole and how they are projected to be the largest minority group by 2055 (Cepeda), the U.S. economy seems to have a bright future ahead. However, the well-known fallacy of stereotypes is that they have their exceptions and also that statistics sometimes can be framed to skew the situation. Hunger and…

    Having grown up as Asian American I am no stranger to microaggressions. There are many stereotypes associated with being asian and i've been called most if not all of them at least once. One microaggression that I have deeply resonated with is the fact that i get the question where am I from or are you chinese when I tell them I'm American. This irks me because can anyone other than white people be Americans. There seems to be a certain representation on what an American is and that includes looking a certain way.…

    Older actors are now joining the calls of other types of actors on how they are portrayed on films and television. As we have watched and seen Hollywood grow, the changes of the profession haven't always caught up with the times. Older women have suggested there aren't enough solid roles for them to play. African-American actors and Asian-American actors have echoed the same concerns. So perhaps this call of concern isn't as surprising as some people might think.…

    I do not live the typical Asian American life. I reside in a state of limbo, somewhere between being full American and full Asian. My well-off, Wisconsin bred parents are not what people expect when they see me from the outside. From the exterior, it’s easy to assume that my parents (or at least one of them) are Asian.…

One reason that they have been so well received in the United States is that they have the image of being the model minority (McNamara & Burns, 2009). The have consistently been underrepresented in crime statistics and are viewed as a hard working group that fits well with the majority (McNamara & Burns, 2009). Asian Americans hold values which are in line with traditional American family values. They value family, respect, and hard work.…

So I thought I was definitely ready to start my new life in New York. I was ready to be independent, get along with neighbors, and stride down the street new college, new life, and everything. I was excited that I didn’t have to be conscious of the way other people are looking at me because it is New York. I could do whatever I want to, nobody would stare at me surprisingly like when I was in Indonesia, just because I am a foreigner.…

    As an Asian American, I find that it’s hard to fit in. There are few role models to look up and relate to as most actresses or stars aren’t Asian American females, but predominantly white and/or male. In particular, United States’ entertainment industry has few Asian Americans on the big screen; however, when it does occur, they’re often given stereotypical roles. Arden Cho is one of the few that has managed to get on the big screen and represents the Asian American identity and the struggles faced. Growing up, Arden Cho faced difficulties of being an ethnic minority.…

    Throughout history, Asian women have been made into sinister, sexual beings. A long history of Asian women being degraded and viewed as nothing but sex workers, has led to them being viewed in an extremely hypersexualized light. In recent years, many people have become more aware of this issue, and it has become topic of debate. Many believe that allowing Asian women to act out their sexuality in ways that are reflective of racialized sexuality is harmful because it allows said stereotypes to continue. Others believe that that point of view is limiting and harmful to Asian female sexuality.…

    Age wise, older people might think that I am immature, unwise, dependent, brainwashed by technology, indecisive, and impulsive. Sex wise, people might think that just because I am a female that I am weak, emotional, overbearing, that I should not be educated, that I should dress modestly, that I should not express my sexual desires, that I am nothing but a pretty face, that I am just a sexual object, and that I cannot do what men can. Racially, because I am black, people think I’m uneducated, violent, unworthy, unreliable, lazy, untrustworthy, that I am on welfare, that I live in the inner city, that I am a criminal, and that I don’t belong here in America, and that I don’t deserve to be treated like a human. I think that these sort of biases come from personal experiences, the news, and just culture in general. If anyone said these things about me either directly to me or to someone else, I would be very hurt, angry, and upset, and I would definitely want to try and change that person’s perception about…
