Create a 1 page essay paper that discusses Media Stereotypes of Asian American.

For centuries Asian Americans have faced the severe stereotyping from the rest of America. They have been shown portraying a typical role in the media especially in movies and sitcoms. The minority presence of this group of people makes it even more difficult to cut through the stereotypical behavior of the natives of the country. The media which is the major source of projecting the image of the Asian American can be called biased when showing the traits and personalities of this group of people in their movies. They show them rowdy and ill-mannered through the roles in their movies. The women are merely shown as desperate housewives and the males are shown as involved in some street crime or a terrorist activity on local and international level. The Asian men as shown in the US media lack self confidence and intellect. They are shown as outrageous people with desire for violence and are low in intelligence quotient as compared to the rest of the US male population. These Asian Americans are shown either unemployed or in a non-glorified job. They are mainly shown as working in small stores as salesperson where they are abused by the customers or driving taxis etc.
