Big Trouble in Little China

Big fear in Little China (BTLC) addresses stereotypes and aids assimilation by represent Asian Americans as true Americans condemning stereotypical actions undermining untrue stereotypes and reinforcing accredited stereotypes as countertypes. BTLC encourages assimilation of Asian Americans into American society by portrait them as true Americans they speak proper English, and Wang showed loyalty to America, as he gave a toast to Americas colors that never eviscerate dry .This contrasts with films which portray Asian Americans as different and unable to change to American society. For example, Mr Yunioshi, who speaks accented English in Breakfast at Tiffanys (1961). Hence, BTLC aids acceptance and assimilation of Asian Americans by showing how they drive home changed their behavior and lifestyles so they ar like true Americans. The film in any case reflects assimilation by showing that Asian Americans are being hard-boiled like true Americans.This is seen from the strong fr iendship between Burton and Wang. Burton is willing to risk his life to help Wang rescue his fiance. Burton also said that despite their racial differences, he and Wang were just old friends and Californians. Burton does not see Wang as an Asian, notwithstanding as a fellow American and a good friend. another(prenominal) example is the interracial romance between Eddie and Margo. Due to the stereotype that Asians are of lower position than Caucasians, interracial romances usually do not down a good ending in films.For example, in The Forbidden metropolis (1918), the Asian fe manly lead was killed after the Emperor knew she had a baby bird with a Caucasian, to warn people that interracial romances are strictly condemned . just now nobody found the interracial relationship between Eddie and Margo surprising or strange. They were seen as a normal male and female, not an Asian male and Caucasian female. The interracial friendship and romance convey to viewers that racial difference s can be erased and Asian Americans are really true Americans.
