Meet The Art Collective Of ‘Sad Asian Girls’ Destroying Asian-American Stereotypes
by The Daily Eye Team April 21 2016, 10:47 am Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 33 secsWhen you think of an Asian woman, what comes to mind? A tiger mom? An anime fantasy? A manicurist talking about you in another language? For Asian women, these stereotypes are frustrating, disheartening and downright depressing.
Instead of letting those feelings fester and rot internally, Rhode Island School of Design students Olivia Park and Esther Fan decided to do something constructive. Late last year, they started Sad Asian Girls Club, a collective of Asian-American girls aiming to break the culture of passiveness and silence through discussions of racism and feminism, providing more representation for Asian girls of all types and backgrounds around the world.
