Response to the comics of Angry Little Asian Girl
Reading and looking at the pictures of the three comic strips, I can see that in each one, the little Asian girl is silent on the outside, but actually angry on the inside. She has many thought bubbles to show her real thoughts about how she feels, which she never says to her mother, knowing that it is against the Asian culture to talk back to her parent. Most of the quotes have her mother downing her or getting mad at her for some very small issue. This leads to the stereotypical image of Asian mothers to be always scolding her child for not giving their 100% effort to whatever they are trying to commit to. In the last comic, the little girl is thinking the whole time through about whether she should yell back at her mother, but by the time she realizes about what she should do, her mother leaves the scene without the little girl to express her thoughts out to her mother. In all of the comic strips, she does not have a positive thought about herself and about the things around her.
Question: Do most people read this comic strip for humor or actually to further understand how Asian stereotypes affect that person being offended?
