In this episode, we take a critical look at Asian+American representation in film and media, with a particular focus on how Asian women have historically been portrayed through limiting and harmful stereotypes. From the persistent tropes of obedience and submissiveness to the dangerous hyper-sexualization of Asian women in Western media. The conversation unpacks how these portrayals are not just reductive but actively shape audience perceptions in ways that can carry real-world consequences. Ultimately representation isn't just about visibility but about allowing Asian+American women exist as fully realized people, not stereotypes designed to serve a cultural fantasy.
