Asian Representation in American Media | Visibility in Hollywood

#asianamerican #asianrepresentation

May is over, but Happy belated AAPI Heritage Month! I wanted to make a video specifically about Asian representation in American Media, because it's a topic that I've thought about often throughout my life (and still do). Please forgive me if my video is not the most comprehensive - I understand that I have a lot more to learn with regards to the representation of South Asians, Southeast Asians, and Pacific Islanders. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below! I'd love to keep the conversation going.
