- Film is often used as a way to perpetuate a sort of "racial hierarchy" and "maintaining a racial order within the American nation and empire"
- People will subconsciously associate what they see on screen with what they see in real life.
- Quite often, depictions of Asian Americans in film have been heavily stereotyped, and only recently has there been a major effort in changing that
