24. The Rise of Asian Representation in Media

One of our main motivators behind starting this podcast was to do our little part to increase Asian representation in media. In this episode, we deep dive into the past, present & future of Asian representation in film, tv & YouTube. We dissect how it has progressed over the years and the direction we're moving towards with the increase in Asian talent recognition in Hollywood that will hopefully trickle down to and influence all of media in general #REPRESENTATIONMATTERS E P I S O D E O U T L I N E ------------------------------------------ •Yellow face •Asian stereotypes - typical roles Asians portrayed •White saviour narrative •Whitewashing in movies •Western remakes •Celebrating Asians in film, TV & YouTube •Acknowledging awesome Asians behind the scenes •Anti-Asian issues that still exist today •Let's normalise Asians on Screen In this conversation, we've only scratched the surface on the very important issues, debates and talent in Asian representation.
