The video presented by VICE lets the viewers what outdated stereotypes and everyday experiences Asian Americans have to deal with today. In the beginning of the video each individual introduces themselves first describing their cultural background. Some even mentioned that they still get asked what kind of Asian ethnicity they are whether they are Chinese, Japanese, or even Korean. One of the individual finds it bizarre that total strangers come up to you and ask those kinds of questions. They have also experienced some stereotypes. The actress that was being interviewed in the video mentioned that when she auditions for Asian roles they assume that she wants to portray Dragon Lady or the nerdy awkward roles. It is also mentioned that Asian Americans are not represented that well and much.
The stereotypes mentioned in the video about Asian women is that they are perceived as submissive and just willing to do whatever is said to them. It is said that just being Asian, whether half or 100% you become a fetish, often hyper sexualized. One example given in the video is that one of the interviewees' friend who is Japanese and her occupation is a stripper. She said that talked in an Asian accent resulting in triple in tips. This then resulted in retaliation with her co-workers. Asian American are expected to be good at math, good with numbers, not good with feelings and even considered terrible drivers. They also experienced being called racial slurs such as "chink." One of the individuals is even mistaken to be adopted just because she looked more Asian. However, one of them is adopted and has never gotten the opportunity to meet her biological parents.
What this video showed me is that Asian Americans still face stereotypes today. Like the actress who is auditioning for Asian roles and people just assume that she will be playing the role of a Dragon Lady or a nerdy awkward high school student is indeed a stereotype Asians face today.
