Webcomic Strip Analyses: Case Studies
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 23:52:48 -0700
The following comic strips address a range of topics prevalent in Asian American studies. The discussed selections are from Secret Asian Man. The first Secret Asian Man strip touches upon issues related to the Asian “obedient” stereotype and to a certain extent the emasculation of the Asian American male. The dialogue from the Caucasian hair stylist implies that since Asian hair “behaves” so well, then by extension Asians and Asian Americans are very good at “behaving” themselves. The topic

Kim Wong Keltner is the author who cleverly weaves identity politics into chick lit. The latest of her work I Want Candy can read more of a young adult book: a Chinese American's coming of age with her precocious curiosity for sex and politics. This kind of nice read just reminded me of my childhood in an ironic way. I grew up in the time when no feminism driven Young Adult nor Chick lit were around, to say the least, this sort of smart and hip ethnic lit was unavailable, either. Asian American,

So I have a theory. And it is HELLA f*ckin’ long… It relates directly to my life as the product of an interracial marriage (Japanese-Amerikan daddy & a Scottish/German/Native-Amerikan mama) and as a Hip-Hoppa (MC/DJ) raised working-class in the Eastbay (Richmond, CA) of the “Hip-Hop generation.” I was at “Peoples’ Park” in Berzerkeley, CA last weekend with some homies for “Hip-Hop in the Park,” and it was quite the spectacle. After kicking it by a circle of diverse, fresh ta death B-Boys

TwitterSnooze temporarily snoozes your chatty Twitter friends. Ever want to ignore someone’s Tweets? Now you can. Dramatisation in news. Straight from Media Studies 101. Rejecting the “model” in model minority. Asian Americans are the classic model minority; we are, supposedly, amiable and submissive to Caucasian authority. Not only is this demeaning to Asian Americans, it also insults other minority groups by telling them how to act: with complete subservience. Hilary Clinton releases statemen

I was sort of half-Caucasian to the world as I was growing up,” Karen recalls. “When I hit 7th or 8th grade, you become really really self-conscious about fitting in, and that’s when I was sort of ashamed that I was half Asian. I didn’t realize how much of an asset that is until I went to college and I had this real desire to explore th
