What are the effects of American pop-culture on Asian Americans?
I think immigrants seem to have a tendency to accept and endure a good deal of oppression while trying hard to survive and assimilate into America. While the Asian children who grow up as Americans with American ideals, perspectives, and cultural literacy are more likely to perceive and resist the subtle oppressions and overt prejudices towards them. This is shown in the movie “My America or Honk if you love Buddha” where fist-generation immigrants are shown saying “they won’t turn the other cheek like their parents did” and being involved in activism, civil rights, and asserting their identities as Asian Americans.
