Most people point to Crazy Rich Asians as Exhibit A of Asians breaking into mainstream American film and media. But Crazy Rich Asians was far from a lightning-in-a-bottle situation; it was the product of decades of prior achievements and incremental progress, from pioneering actors to Oscar wins. Join us as we look back at some of the most significant breakthroughs of Asian American representation in contemporary media.

Chinese Summary (中文總結): 过了一九八十年代,好莱坞开始拍跟多亚洲中心电影,所以亚裔美国人开始有跟多机会拿到重要角色。一个例子是一九九三年的电影 The Joy Luck Club。这电影在历史上留下了重要的烙印,因为它以多数亚裔美国演员,也没有刻板地刻画亚洲女人。后来,在一九九八年,迪士尼出了 Mulan,基于中国花木兰的传说。迪士尼还邀请了一位华裔作家,也雇用了大部分亚裔美国人在声音上。Mulan 会给迪士尼带开门去展示更多亚裔美国人和太平洋岛人的故事,象 Lilo and Stitch,Big Hero 6,和 Moana。然而,尽管这些电影取得了进步,但亚洲的刻板印象,尤其是亚洲女性的刻板印象,在媒体和好莱坞仍然存在。比方说,一九八七年的电影 Full Metal Jacket 推动了亚洲女性成为性对象的念头。虽然这些歧视对亚裔美国人还在社会里,但是亚裔美国演员还是在好莱坞有印象,因为亚裔美国人也开始在颁奖典礼上获得更多提名,象 Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,Life of Pi,Crazy Rich Asians,和 Nomadland。
