even media that is SUPPOSEDLY “” “” “”””” “” “””” “ “’ proggressive””” “”””” “””” has no fucking clue how to write asian people
steven universe? fucking tiger mom stereotype whose shy daughter wants to BREAK FREE!!!! from ((also i get a real weebish vibe from this show which is partially why i couldn’t get into it…. like connie isn’t even japanese and yet she says “itadakimasu” before a meal??? not cute.))
how to get away with murder? yah oliver’s a little cinnamon roll but why is he the hacker genius.
brooklyn 99? again, hacker genius asian episode (and there was one that had a “filipino bieber” joke like ?? ????? ok??)
orange is the new black? this is the show that had an episode titled “ching chong chang” i don’t think i have to explain any further (there’s also numerous articles about its anti asian racism but you get the idea)
i’ve explained the issues with mulan and bh6 more times than i can count like i honestly should be compensated for this.
i mean it’s really fucking annoying how deep rooted in anti asian racism a lot of media is even the ones tumblr loves to hail as progressive, the pinnacle of DIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! !!!!!!! and people just ignore it. even asian-americans for whom it’s IMPOSSIBLE to even be visible. like we literally cannot find asian characters that don’t have some glaring stereotype attached to them and i’m done with it.
Sense8 even. Sun is a Korean martial artist suffering at the hands of patriarchy. Very stereotypical
Should I even mention Dong’s role in The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?
a lot of people have added comments like this to my post or left me asks like “oh man i didn’t realize” and it’s kind of jarring how obviously racist things to us didn’t occur to others until they read this
like this isn’t me being mad (because i definitely don’t recognize a lot of stereotypes from other groups im not a part of) but it’s super telling how prevalent this kind of racism is
i thought oliver was filipino tho
yes
now if you look closely at a world map, on what continent would you find the philippines?Oh my god
hey non-asians maybe reblog this please
