Orientalism

Orientalism in Asia is extremely familiar, because of main stream artists and movies. We live in a extremely covert society, which forces us to ignore our racist acts. Main stream artists like Nicki Minaj uses a street fighter Asian character to display that Asians all know how to fight off "men". Migos is a rap group that mixed Chinese culture and Japanese culture in their video "Stir Fry", because quite frankly they thought it was the same thing. They did Chinese puzzles called mahjong, but used hand on hand combat from Japan. Orientalism stems from ignorance when people don't educate themselves about a culture. Orientalism is also common in costumes of what "Japanese culture" is supposed to look like.  Party City has several "Japanese" outfits that are supposed to present "warriors." Orientalism affects huge groups of people, so artists and establishments need to be more aware of the harm they are causing.
