Asian Americans in Hollywood

The article about the portrayal of Asian Americans in Hollywood opened my eyes because I never really thought about it before. I feel that that is a part of Asian culture that Americans find most exciting. In America, Asians are stereotyped as being smart, hard working but apart from everyone else socially. Most have assimilated so I guess martial arts is a way to identify them as being Asian??? Did that make any sense...

Bamboozled

Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" is one of my favorite movies of all time. So, I was really excited when we watched it in class. I was discussing the film with some of my friends (who happen to be white) last week and most of them felt that the movie was over dramatic and unrealistic. However, I see the same things going on in everyday life. It may be a little more subtle, but it still exists and a lot of black people support the way they are negatively portrayed by buying the media that exploits them.
