Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
After watching Yellowface: Asian Whitewashing and Racism in Hollywood on HBOMax, respond to the following prompt.
- List and discuss 2 examples / points from the documentary that you found striking
- What do the examples discussed in the documentary tell us about how power operates in society? Specifically, what is the role of popular culture in securing and maintaining power?
- Is there evidence of those power relations shifting today?
