Imagine a distant post-apocalyptic future where a group of researchers discover a stack of DVDs of 20th- and 21st-century Hollywood films featuring Asian-American actresses. After watching those films, what might researchers conclude about the characteristics of Asian American women in films? Certainly, they will see Asian American women as sexual and erotic objects of society that white men can easily obtain. Why do I assume they will think this way? The answer is simple, yet controversial: For the most part, the media, as history shows, portrays Asian American women as erotic sex slaves of white men or as insidious personalities who lure their prey into a trap with their sex appeal. If we look at history, we will mainly find two different types of Asian women in the media: “Dragon Lady” and “China Doll” – the two characteristics that overall represent the sexual and erotic nature of Asian women. Today, such stereotypical portrayals of Asian American women still exist in films, even though the media claims that such stereotypes are a thing of the American media's past. This article will compare the typical roles of Lucy Liu, a modern Asian-American actress, and Nancy Kwan, an Asian-American actress who began her career in the 1960s, in American films to show that the portrayal of characters Asian-American women as sexual and erotic objects has hardly changed over time. History of Asian Women as Sexually Alluring Objects: Connie Chan, in her article, “Asian American Women: Psychological Responses to Sexual Exploitation and Cultural Stereotypes,” points out that Western colonization of many Asian countries marks the beginning of a cultural process stereotype of Asian American women as “sexual and and...... center of the card ...... a characteristic that outlines: Both are Asian American women full of sexuality and eroticism. The only difference that Lucy Liu is less feminine than Suzy Wong is a vague media trick used to strengthen already broken respect in the world of feminists. Seriously, how does the mass media think they can portray Asian-American women as sexual and erotic objects who seduce men and define their characters as less feminine to, perhaps, balance out the overly sexual nature of said characters? They simply can't do it because making women less feminine is like adding more fuel to the fire and claiming that this will put out the fire. After all, the portrayal of sexuality and eroticism is what psychologically affects Asian American women in society; adding more of the “tricky” part just makes it harder for them to get around stress-free.
