In this episode, we discuss our experiences and thoughts on Asian representation in media. Representation in media has drastically changed from when we were growing up as students to our current "adult" selves. Specifically, the range of an Asian character was often limited, stereotypical, and even offensive. This lack of a mainstream and "normal" Asian character in popular media affected how we were growing up, and gave us a skewed idea of what a typical Asian should be in America. However, great strides have been taken and representation has grown to encompass more than what is on the big and small screen. Today, we discuss how these new influencers have helped foster Asian communities, representation, and why these aspects are so important to us. We hope you enjoy!
