Asian Racism

Paper Summary:

People from other countries that enter America face a number of problems when trying to become a part of American culture, retain aspects of their own culture and find a personal and cultural identity within these surroundings. This paper shows that Asians in America have a particular dilemma because there is a complex dichotomy to their cultural identity within Western culture. It also looks at the stereotyping and racism that exists within American society towards the Asian culture and people.

From the Paper:

"The pornography industry is highly populated with Asian women fulfilling the male desire for sexual stereotypes. Japanese schoolgirls in short skirts with lollipops and repressed sexual needs are a popular fetish. The subservient Geisha wife in kimonos, pale make-up, and most importantly donning a subservient, unthreatening, submissive sexual attitude is another. Look again and one is certain to find the "dragon lady" as mentioned above: the over-sexed, wild, uninhibited Asian girl looking to please as many White men as possible because she is uncontrollably lustful."
