Response to "Angry Little Asian Girl"

"Angry Little Asian Girl" is a comic orchestrated by Leila Lee about an Asian girl who is often put in comedic situations. Most of her comics displays an Asian girl facing everyday problems from ensuing racist encounters to problems at home. I think that it is nice to see more talented work from Asian Americans in the media. There should be more representation of Asian Americans in the media to honor Asian American culture. There are many Asian Americans who struggle to enter the entertainment business because of less representation in the industry. Most Asian Americans are geared towards medical and the sciences but I think it would be good to see more Asian Americans in the arts. There are many talented Asian Americans who struggle to publish their work to the world due to cultural and racial imbalance of success in the Arts. There are many ways to change that and I think more Asian Americans are considering the Arts. There are many Asian Americans who sing, rap, dance, and make film and produce photography and I believe it shouldn't stop.
