1. MCS 274 final paper proposal
It is the 21st century now, and on the surface, the earth looks
like a very open and diverse world, however, I think
discrimination is still existing everywhere. In my point of view,
a large part of the reason that discrimination happening is
because of the stereotype that people have about others.
For my final assignment, I am going to write a media analysis
paper talking about the character or plot that is based on a
stereotype people in modern cinema. As a international student,
I probably know less about American culture than any other
student, so my perspective may be more subjective. During the
three years of living and studying here, I have known countless
local people, including a large number of Chinese Americans or
Asian Americans. I will analyze the rationality of such
stereotype from the perspective of an Asian or Asian American.
In my point of view, many Chinese-Americans are trying to
shake off the stereotypes based on what they look like, but these
stereotypes are even presented in the mainstream media as
certain characteristics of a character, this includes some
manners and accents.
Jimmy O’ Yang is a actor and stand-up comedian that I've liked
for a long time, at first, I was also attracted by the funny things
he said about his life as a Chinese-American. As he became
bigger and bigger, more and more movies and TV series have
begun to ask him acting in. I think one of the reason is that his
appearance really conforms to most Americans' impression of a
Chinese. This sentiment has been reflected in a number of films
and television programs he has participated in, which including
Space Force 2020 and Crazy Rich Asians 2018. I will mainly
start with these two works to explore this phenomenon for my
2. final paper.
My stand point: The heavy use of stereotyped elements can be
comedic, but in some ways it reinforces Asian stereotypes. But
because it's a comedy, it can also shorten the distance between
the races, so there are pros and cons to this condition.
