Document Summary
Summary: politics of representation and what it means to have black and asian bodies as portrayed from the media. Tv is the third way we create assumptions and how people are portrayed: american youth fitting in as americans, but not losing their culture, balance of assimilation. Model minority: nerdy, no time for social life, hard-working, treated differently, pit racial groups bad because it homogeonizes groups (japanese and korean are just asian) Asian-american is a pan-ethnic label: catches all labels, ethnicity, inter-generational aspect and is crucial because of immigrants.
