Since I am the only one come from East Asia and the only international student in the class, I would like to represent the Asian population in my Media Society class at Athenian. In American, or Western countries, Asians are count as a minority even though the population of Asian people are increasing; but still the amount of Asian are less than non-Asian Americans. Asians in America and all over the world are always subject to false stereotypes of all kinds.
Nelly Yuki, the Asian girl in TV series Gossip Girl is the false stereotype. Black hair, nerdy glasses, and always holding a book with her, and that is just the stereotype of Asians. Just like for most of people; they think Asian people are smart and are always studying. When people watching the Gossip Girl, they might not notice Nelly Yuki is being stereotyped but when she first came out from the Gossip Girl, I already knew that she is being stereotyped as a traditional Asian. Also, she is the only Asian in the Gossip Girl. Does that mean Asians are less important or all the Asians looks the same?
