Frank Chin- Sections 25-31

I do agree with him when he says that the stereotypes of asians has become so far from the truth, this is true. When it is mentioned in a movie that asians have no identity and become americanized and therefore should not take offense to the racism that is sometimes conveyed. I do not agree with this, that is there culture and whether they decided to assimilate or not, that is still their culture and who they are. Asians have a right to be angry if someone is racist towards them. He also mentions people taking tales like mulan and making her more of a hero than in the original. This is good, its empowering to little girls. But, on the other hand, it is bad because then it gives this additional stereotype that chinese men treat women horribly. It was also one written in a magazine that Chinese American women prefer caucasians to Chinese American men. Why? Because they see chinese american men as having an identity crisis. The overall message that there are real chinese people and fake ones becuase they became americanized, is not. That is my take because people do differen things for different reasons but you can't change who you are, where you come from, or your culture. It all depends on whether or not you show those things or hide them to fit into society, especially when you are from a different country because everything is new.
