Keep on Wondering...

What are the connections between social and historical forces and the representations we see?
Why is yellowface still acceptable? When and how did yellowface turn into whitewashing?
How do these representations create and/or perpetuate stereotypes that are present in our world? What is the impact?

Come come, what's this all about?

     Why, it's all to do with the following!


1. Films featuring gratuitous amount of yellowface
2. Analyzing and blasting said films
3. Films featuring Asian and Asian American actors
4. Musings on aforementioned films
5. Long-winded contemplations of books by Asian-American authors
6. And not just books, TV shows, more films...
7. Collages and pictures of said collages
8. Featured Asian/-American Cool People
