Section 2
Week 10 Response to Angry Little Asian Girl
Personally, I find these comics to be playful and silly, however it was brought to my attention that they've been viewed as racist before. Despite learning more about racism and racial sensitivity, I hadn't personally felt this way towards these comics when reading them. As to these particular comics, I felt the last one was interesting because it shows how she was having a struggle deciding whether or not to talk back to her mother, something I've seen in friends many times before. However, oddly, she doesn't talk back and ends up saying nothing by the time that her mom leaves. This bothered me a bit on analysis, because I felt that this reminded me of the submissive Asian stereotype. However, her usual behavior counters this, so I am uncertain how to take it.
