The claims I will make in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe following are all based on my personal observations of the works in question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince this is supposed to be a rather brief term paper, I will not be able to prevent myself\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efrom essentializing the people I talk about. When I speak of Americans or whites, I do\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enot, at any rate, mean everyone living in America whose skin is white but everyone who\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehas bought into the mediäs portrayal of Chinese Americans and the stereotypes existing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein America, in other words, everyone believing in a white supremacist ideology. Likewise,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhen I speak of Chinese Americans, I do not mean all Chinese Americans reunited but a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecertain part of the Chinese American population who will react in the way I describe. All\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethis does not take into consideration the more and more complex composition of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChinese America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of what I will claim applies to other minorities, as well, especially to other groups\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof Asian heritage that have united with Chinese Americans under the umbrella term\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e¿Asian Americans.¿ This term, coined by the late Japanese American scholar Yuji\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIchioka, homogenizes various groups of different Asian descent and does not take into\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eaccount their respective historical, cultural, political or other background. They have\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunited in order to fight for certain clearly defined political issues that concern all of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethem, such as anti-Asian violence, racism, etc. White supremacists are probably\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunaware of this political coalition anyways, due to their racist view that all Asians are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783640475247\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783640475247","offer_id":39441131208797,"sku":"9783640475247","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/27afdcdc-60d0-425e-ae25-fbb5832b3b4f.jpg?v=1777611820","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/film-literature-and-chinese-american-identity-von-stephanie-wossner","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
