Sophomore year is almost over. I'm going to miss my East Asia in US Lit and Film class! Today we watched the Slanted Screen which examines how Asian American males have been portrayed in mainstream media. I have to say I enjoyed the Bruce Lee clips and learning about Sessue Hayakawa. Sessue was the first Asian actor to find success in non-stereotypical roles. Apparently, hordes of white women went to watch him seduce and overpower white female stars. Mhhmm.
