Stereotypes towards people of Asian heritage have proliferated throughout U.S. history, largely reinforced by a dearth of authentic representations of the varied cultures that make up this population. For this panel, we will briefly review historic portrayals of Asian Americans in film and television to understand how Hollywood has contributed to harmful characterizations of our community, and we'll discuss how Asian American film and TV writers are updating and revising onscreen and behind-the-screen narratives to be more inclusive, multi-dimensional, and authentic.
