Response Questions:
Combine the lessons from materials listed above (and our in-class discussion), as well as any other sources or data you wish to bring in, to address the following questions in your response:
In the first article, what do the authors argue is the problem with the representation of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the American cultural landscape of television?
According to Erika Lee (second article), what purpose does emphasizing the (purported) problematic nature of illegal immigrants serve for politicians?
What connections do you see between these two articles? Can the Erika Lee’s analysis of xenophobia help further explain DuCros’s argument about the role of television in promoting inclusion (or exclusion) in American society? Or vice versa?
