Big Trouble in Little China

Big Trouble in Little China (BTLC) addresses stereotypes and aids concentration by portraying Asian Americans as squ ar Americans condemning uninspired actions undermining untrue stereotypes and reinforcing certain stereotypes as countertypes. BTLC encourages assimilation of Asian Americans into American gild by portraying them as true Americans they speak proper English, and Wang showed commitment to America, as he gave a toast to Americas colour in that never run dry .This contrasts with films which portray Asian Americans as distinguishable and unable to adapt to American society. For example, Mr Yunioshi, who speaks accented English in eat at Tiffanys (1961). Hence, BTLC aids acceptance and assimilation of Asian Americans by showing how they have changed their behavior and lifestyles so they be like true Americans. The film also reflects assimilation by showing that Asian Americans are being treated like true Americans.This is check inton from the strong friendship mi ngled with Burton and Wang. Burton is willing to risk his life to help Wang rescue his fiance. Burton also state that despite their racial differences, he and Wang were just old friends and Californians. Burton does non see Wang as an Asian, but as a fellow American and a good friend. Another example is the interracial romance amid Eddie and Margo. callable to the stereotype that Asians are of lower position than Caucasians, interracial romances usually do not have a good ending in films.For example, in The Forbidden City (1918), the Asian female lead was killed after the emperor butterfly knew she had a child with a Caucasian, to warn people that interracial romances are strictly condemned . But 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 intercommunicate to viewers that racial differences can be erased and Asia n Americans are actually true Americans.
