Blog Description

Your source for American Asian news and entertainment. Despite how mainstream TV, film, fashion mags, and news media constantly stereotype them, American Asians aren't all martial artists, exotic submissive sex Objects, accented untrustworthy foreigners, sneaky dragon ladies, and asexual or chauvinistic Asian men. Although American Asians have lived in America since the 18th century, the media still fetishizes Asian women and marginalizes Asian men, creating damaging stereotypes, racism, and self-hate for Asian youth. Become more self aware and supportive of American Asian-related entertainment, politics, and news, by checking here often!
