1.  I could do my project on representation (and/or misrepresentation, and/or lack-thereof) in superhero-related media such as cartoons, comics, and movies. This is of interest to me because superheroes have been around for a long time beginning with comic books, so you can see a lot of the attitudes of the times reflected in the media. Since those attitudes often included casual racism, I think it’s important to see how later creators handled race and whether or not those attitudes are still being perpetuated, inadvertently or otherwise. This would also give me an opportunity to look at any Asian-American creators in the superhero genre and how they’re treated.
  2. I could do my project on Asian Americans who should be famous but aren’t, and/or Asian Americans who are famous but aren’t widely acknowledged as Asian Americans for whatever reason. This topic would be of interest to me because there’s a lot of people, such as famous actors, that I had no idea what their ethnicity was and was surprised to find out that they weren’t white like I assumed. This would also presumably give me a chance to examine why assuming the default ethnicity of pale skinned people is white is a problem.
  3. I could do my project on how Asian media such as video games and anime has influenced American culture and whether or not that has inspired more Asian Americans to become content creators. This is of interest to me because I know there are a lot of video games and anime that are still really popular and have been for decades, such as the Pokemon and Dragon Ball franchises, and it would be interesting to see how that kind of media has shaped my generation’s attitudes and preferences for content.
