Seaworld has some of the worst cases of animal cruelty on documentation. One of the most notorious cases of animal cruelty in Seaworld is their care of orcas. Seaworld keeps orcas in containers inadequate for their size. At night, the orcas are placed in a cramped shelter…

In the documentary, a Mr. Choi appears, and he is described as someone who works for a fortune cookie company, teaches martial arts, and does other tasks that are often associated with the “good oriental” image that Xing describes in “Cinematic Asian Representation.” Meanwhile, Victor Wong, who was born in San Francisco, describes himself as the “Wong that went wrong,” and is an Asian who actively takes part…

Hollywood misrepresents Asians by placing racially stereotyped characters and place a Non-Asian actor to fill in Asian roles in films, which creates false depictions of Asians and Asian cultures. In the film industry, Casting Directors hire popular Non-Asian actors than Asian actors just solely based off of popularity. The community of Asians face hardship because of racial stereotype being depicted in the wide-screen. Without an abundance of Asians in the Media, Asians can not be represented…

He accomplished many things at a much younger age than normal people would. For instance he enrolled into Harvard at just the age of thirteen. He…
