Big Trouble in Little China
Big Trouble in low China (BTLC) addresses stereotypes and back up assimilation by portraying Asiatic Americans as avowedly Americans condemning stereotypical actions undermining untrue stereotypes and reinforcing certain stereotypes as countertypes. BTLC encourages assimilation of Asian Americans into American society by portraying them as true Americans they speak proper English, and Wang showed verity to America, as he gave a present to Americas colors that never run dry .This contrasts with call fors which portray Asian Americans as different and unable to admit 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 video display how they have changed their behavior and vitalitystyles so they be like true Americans. The film also reflects assimilation by showing that Asian Americans are being treated like true Americans.This is seen from the strong intimacy surrounded by Burton and Wang. Burton is willing to risk his life to help Wang rescue his fiance. Burton also say that despite their racial differences, he and Wang were merely old friends and Californians. Burton does not see Wang as an Asian, but as a brother American and a skinny friend. other example is the assorted romance amongst Eddie and Margo. Due to the stereotype that Asians are of sink position than Caucasians, interracial romances usually do not have a good ending in films.For example, in The nix City (1918), the Asian female go away was killed after the Emperor knew she had a fry with a Caucasian, to warn people that interracial romances are strictly condemned . But aught 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 association and romance convey to viewers that racial differences can be erased and Asian Americ ans are really true Americans.
