Topic: Chinese American Stereotypes (The Chinese American Experience)

Citation: Bodemer, Margaret B. “Using Personal Narratives to Reposition and Reimagine ‘the Chinese American Experience’ in American Elistory and Culture.” Chinese America: History & Perspectives, Jan. 2018, pp. 75–80.

Link: EBSCO-FullText-09_30_2025.pdf

Evaluation: The reason I decided to go with this paper is that it goes into detail about the stereotypes that Asian Americans (but the main focus is on Chinese Americans) face, all while suggesting ways to fight them. I believe that it's important to understand and have a background on stereotypes that affect not asians, more specifically, for my topic, Chinese Americans. This allows a deeper understanding of what they're facing, and it can also inform a person that they still face these stereotypes to this day.

Discover this 2024 paper in Journal of Medical Internet Research by Ng, Reuben; and, Indran, Nicole Abstract: Background: A silver lining to the COVID-19 pandemic is that it cast a spotlight on a long-underserved group. The barrage of attacks against older Asian Americans during the crisis galvanized society into assisting them in various ways. On Twitter, now known as X, support for them coalesced around the hashtag #ProtectOurElders. To date, discourse surrounding older Asian Americans has escaped the attention of gerontologists—a gap we seek to fill. Our study serves as a reflection of the level of support that has been extended to older Asian Americans, even as it provides timely insights that will ultimately advance equity for them. Objective: This study explores the kinds of discourse surrounding older Asian Americans during the COVID-19 crisis, specifically in relation to the surge in anti-Asian sentiments. The following questions guide this study: What types of discourse have emerged in relation to older adults in the Asian American community and the need to support them? How do age and race interact to shape these discourses? What are the implications of these discourses for older Asian Americans? Methods: We retrieved tweets (N=6099) through 2 search queries. For the first query, we collated tweets with the hashtag #ProtectOurElders. For the second query, we collected tweets with an age-based term, for example, “elderly” or “old(er) adults(s)” and either the hashtag #StopAAPIHate or #StopAsianHate. Tweets were posted from January 1, 2020, to August 1, 2023. After applying the exclusion criteria, the final data set contained 994 tweets. Inductive and deductive approaches informed our qualitative content analysis. Results: A total of 4 themes emerged, with 50.1% (498/994) of posts framing older Asian Americans as “vulnerable and in need of protection” (theme 1). Tweets in this theme either singled them out as a group in need of protection because of their vulnerable status or discussed initiatives aimed at safeguarding their well-being. Posts in theme 2 (309/994, 31%) positioned them as “heroic and resilient.” Relevant tweets celebrated older Asian Americans for displaying tremendous strength in the face of attack or described them as individuals not to be trifled with. Tweets in theme 3 (102/994, 10.2%) depicted them as “immigrants who have made selfless contributions and sacrifices.” Posts in this section referenced the immense sacrifices made by older Asian Americans as they migrated to the United States, as well as the systemic barriers they had to overcome. Posts in theme 4 (85/994, 8.5%) venerated older Asian Americans as “worthy of honor.” Conclusions: The COVID-19 crisis had the unintended effect of garnering greater support for older Asian Americans. It is consequential that support be extended to this group not so much by virtue of their perceived vulnerability but more so in view of their boundless contributions and sacrifices.

I decided to use this article because it talks about the rise of racism and online hate against Asian communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, which connects closely to my research.

What stood out to me is how the study explains the impact of discrimination on people’s identity and the ways they cope, which gives me useful evidence to build my argument. Choosing this source also shows that I’m drawing from serious academic research instead of less reliable websites.

We are not a virus: repercussions of anti-Asian online hate during the COVID-19 pandemic on identity and coping strategies of Asian-heritage individuals. | EBSCOhost

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Discover this 2025 paper in Ethnic & Racial Studies by Odağ, Özen; and, Moskovits, Jules Abstract: Current scholarship has identified online hate speech as one of the main threats in digital spaces, leading to an ever-heightened marginalization of ethnic minorities. The COVID-19 pandemic has given racist expressions of hate a new momentum, directed particularly at Asian-heritage individuals who were scapegoated as the originators of the virus. This study explores the repercussions of this for Asian-heritage individuals living in Europe, specifically their (1) identity and (2) coping strategies. Using semi-structured interviews with N = 14 Asian-heritage individuals, the study shows how this group was hatefully othered online, with severe consequences for its members’ sense of hybrid belonging and ethnic identity. Initial defense attempts were muted, and individuals surrendered to passive coping strategies, withdrawing from mainstream discourse. The study shows how identity and coping were inextricably intertwined. Taking this case as an example for minority victimization during crises, we discuss potential empowerment perspectives for ethnic minority individuals.

Evaluation: I chose this peer reviewed article talking about the impacts of "boba liberalism" to the Asian American community, and how there are some stigmas around boba in general that go with Asian Americans. It also goes into how "cute" things are perceived by Asian Americans, such as boba plushies and stickers. I feel like this relates to my project because liking boba is one of the main stereotypes that "ABGs" have, I thought that the information that this article goes through would be helpful with my research topic.

With the negative help seeking behaviors come with these individuals afraid to seek help due to being shamed by the Catholic Church about their mental health challenges.

It also mentions how whiteness and nation are constructed as pure and Chinese immigration as a danger within a symbolic, racial, and political manner. It'll tell of how this Act was the first time the U.S adopted to exclude immigrants based on race and nationality.
