A Response to "Angry Little Asian Girl"
This week I had the opportunity to view the Angry Little Asian Girl comic strip that was a part of the assigned reading list for Week 10. I honestly loved the comic strip and I thought it was refreshingly hilarious and witty. Not only did it bring up common Asian American stereotypes, but it also questioned them and brought up viewpoints that are seldom discussed in the media. My favorite of the three comics was the comic titled "Nobody" because it was a commentary on the relationship between a daughter and an angry parent. I thought it was especially interesting because it briefly commented on the tiger mom phenomenon and how it might not be an effective method of parenting. I think it's also important to note that not only does the comic comment on Asian American stereotypes and viewpoints, but it also comments on regular instances where a little girl might be angry. Thus introducing the idea that just because the little girl is Asian doesn't make her any different from the rest of the population. Overall I really enjoyed viewing the comic strips and have included more of my favorites in the section below!
