Ep 4: Representasian FEMINASIANS
-
- Politics
In Episode 4, we explore Asian American beauty standards and representation in the media. In this episode, we unpack the effects of uneven representation and representation scarcity, especially as they relate to our conceptions of normalcy, centering whiteness, devaluing the “foreign” and queerness. We also unpack the effects of representation on beauty by discussing colorism, colonialist and imperialist roots, the internalization of Eurocentric beauty standards, as well as familial pressure.
