从美国媒体的种族划分上来看对亚裔女子外嫁的影响

Ethnic stereotypes in American media are oversimplified depictions of various ethnic groups in the United States. As art is often a reflection of any given society, these stereotypes can be said to represent some or much of the American society's dominant view of different ethnic groups. Early media portrayals of Africans, Asians, Native Americans, the Irish, Italians and others tended to be overtly racist. As media technology advanced and the broadcasting age emerged, the American media became national in scope, and as such the nature of ethnic stereotypes became shifted to reflect a "melting pot" ideology. Thus, while overtly racist media portrayals were largely marginalized in the early 20th century, perceptions and claims of more subtly racist portrayals continue to the present. [1] One criticism of stereotype theory, however, is that if virtually any portrayal can be said to fall into innumerable, often contradictory, stereotypes, this begs the question of whether criticism of "stereotypes in the media" is not based on circular logic, or can be manipulated for any political agenda. Also, once an individual has discovered a stereotype they believe exists, they will perceive it as such, even with evidence to the contrary.

Asians
Main article: Stereotypes of Asians
Asian Americans and Asians are often portrayed as side characters in American media. In movies, they often occupy supporting roles to White protagonists, or serve as the evil archnemesis of the White protagonist, but are rarely given the role of the main character. Asians are sometimes a source of comedy, speaking English with thick accents and acting inappropriately. Examples of this include Long Duk Dong from the movie Sixteen Candles, Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's, or the Asian street violinist in Spider Man 2. Asians are also portrayed as martial arts experts, as in Jackie Chan and Jet Li action movies. There is also the stereotype of the mystical Asian sage thought to possess ancient Asian wisdom, like Pai Mei in the Kill Bill series. Since Asians are stereotyped as being overachieving and good at math and science, they are given roles as nerds, geeks, scientists, and engineers.[2] Furthermore, despite their successes, many (especially Asian males) are given roles of people living in poverty.

Asian men are portrayed as either lacking a love interest[citation needed], oppressing Asian women, or desiring unattainable White women. Asian women, on the other hand, tend to be hypersexualized, either as a submissive China Doll, or as a seductive Dragon Lady vixen, such as the roles of Lucy Liu in Ally McBeal and Charlie's Angels. In either stereotype of Asian female sexuality, she is sexually available to White men and an acceptable partner to White men, although she is often illegitimate and endangers the White man's relationship with his legitimate partner.

There are also many ethnic-specific occupations attributed to Asians including the Japanese businessman or the Chinese news anchorwoman. Cultural identity issues of Asian American youth are also seen in the media; some examples include Lane Kim of television series Gilmore Girls, and the various characters in the movie The Joy Luck Club.
