AAPI representation in media

AAPI representation in media refers to the visibility and portrayal of Asian American and Pacific Islander individuals in television, film, and other forms of entertainment. It aims to accurately reflect their diversity, experiences, and contributions, helping to challenge stereotypes and promote inclusion. Positive representation can improve understanding, reduce bias, and provide role models for AAPI communities. However, historically, AAPI characters have been underrepresented or stereotyped, leading to ongoing efforts for more authentic and diverse stories that resonate with their real-life experiences.
