In this video, I discuss ABC’s Fresh Off The Boat and examine how the historical lack of Asian representation caused it-and seemingly all Asian American stories-to be scrutinized with an intense microscope by Asian Americans. I also try to break down why it’s been so important for us to have a “perfect portrayal” and what I feel the solution to this elusive depiction might be.
