Do you think she has a point? That Asian women are grossly depicted as this seductive enchantresses whose primary goal is to tantalize and seduce?

Meghan Markle sat down with journalist Lisa Ling and comedian Margarget Cho in an episode titled The Demystification of Dragon Lady for her Archetypes podcast.

The Dragon Lady the East Asian temptress, whose mysterious foreign allure is scripted as both tantalizing and deadly this it has seeped into a lot of our entertainment, Meghan said.

Movies like Austin Powers and Kill Bill they presented these caricatures of women of Asian descent as oversexualized or aggressive, Meghan said, adding that there many examples.

This toxic stereotyping of women of Asian descent this doesnt just end once the credits roll, Meghan continued.

The episode also featured sociologist Nancy Wang Yuen.

As far back as I can see in the Western canon, Chinese women have been depicted as either the submissive lotus blossom or the aggressive dragon lady.

You don't think that's a little tone-deaf?

I feel like it's doubly bad for Asian women.

The shooter who killed Asian women at the spa used their depiction as justification for murdering them: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2022/03/14/atlanta-spa-shootings-asian-american-women-stereotypes-danger/9414249002/
