Asian Latin American

For instance, being more educated, wealthier, or having marriage and family bonds than Americans are the stereotypes about Asian Americans rooted in the American society. In the United States, Asian Americans are usually stroked at hegemonic ideology imposed on minorities. The Asian American experiences within the context of other racial and ethnic experiences in the United States usually relate to the stereotypes. The experience of Jeremy Lin is a good example. Jeremy Lin is an Asian American professional basketball player of the National Basketball Association (NBA). In Lin’s early days, he was just a nameless bench player, but he never gave up. He worked hard every day and thought he could do his best. This young Taiwanese descent from California who graduated from the Harvard University, but he did not get any appreciation from any NBA team at first. Later, he finally signed a contract with the Golden State Warriors, but he was sent to the Development League, and even was terminated later. Even though how hard he played, he was not favored by his coaches and people who watched the games. It is because people usually think Asians could only do well on education but not sports. Moreover, African Americans are usually the ones who treat with stereotypes because they have reputations of being “overrepresented among the perpetrators of that violence” (Staples 344).

Logos, or logic, involves looking for arguments that make sense in a piece. Amy Tan’s essay is very logical. It makes complete sense, and is simple to understand. Being that it is a narrative, she uses examples to back up her statements about English. She tells the stories of her mother dealing with the stockbroker and the hospital as means to make her point clearer. Ethos looks at the author’s credibility. Tan is a well-known writer, and does a lot of public speaking. We can trust her…

Some things might have changed towards Asian Americans today but there is still discrimination in most parts of United States. I think Asian Americans still go through the stereotypes and still are labeled as either Chinese, Koreans or Japanese. Orientalist attitude can be viewed in many ways today. For example, Asians who currently work in Hollywood, film industry, continue to be understated as a minority group in movies. Asians or Asian Americans continue to be neglected to such roles and…

not concerned about any issues regarding Asians and Asian Americans. I do not think that it is important for me to know or pay attention to them. As long as my life is not affected, I would not take the issues of Asian and Asian American seriously. However, I was wrong.
