Author
- Sandra Rosado (Iowa State University)
Abstract
This presentation will focus on the misrepresentation of Asian Americans in media. We will specifically examine the five most common methods of dehumanization used by media, which inspire paranoia, sexual fetish, mockery, ignorance, and hatred toward Asian Americans. Through video clips, commercial ads, testimonies, historical data, and small discussions, we will display the stereotypes used by the media and what they accomplish for America and its interests.
