In addressing the issue of women’s representation in the media‚ it quickly becomes apparent that even though there are positive steps being taken and a few skirmishes are won‚ the overall conclusion that can be drawn is not encouraging.

wasn’t sure what to expect of Chinatown‚ as I’m not from the area and I only really had a general idea of the community. I knew that Chinatown was a representation of Chinese culture‚ but I was surprised to see how representative it was of many other Asian cultures‚ such as Japanese and Korean. Even in preliminary research that I did‚ I only saw representations of Chinese culture.

The most we can each do is to not have bias ideas on races‚ and try to see each other as unique different individuals.
