Abstract
Asian American historiography reveals that discrimination, stereotyping, and racism occurred from the beginning of the arrival of the Chinese, the first group of Asians in the mid-nineteenth century. These Asian migrants faced tremendous difficulties and hardships and tried their best to overcome political, social, and cultural discrimination. Over the years, Asian men were stereotyped in the American media and society as clown (jester, nonthreatening), or nerd (socially inept, sexually undesirable), or martial artists (mysterious “other”). Asian women were typecast as Dragon Lady (hypersexual, immoral, aggressive) or Lotus Blossom (submissive, docile, passive). When we examine the worldwide phenomenon of Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” we realize that in certain ways Psy fits into the Asian male stereotype of a jester, offering goofy laughs for all. As Psy rose in popularity and recordbreaking music statistics, many are left asking the question, “Are we laughing at Psy?”

There are many painful stories of Asian immigrant women’s lives as they struggled to survive as laborers, cooks, and domestic workers. A second-generation Korean American woman recalls her childhood experience in Hawaii: “My mother had many maids in Korea, but at Kipahulu [sic] plantation she worked in the cane fields with my older brother and his wife. I remember her hands, so blistered and raw that she had to wrap them in clothes [sic]. One morning she overslept and failed to hear the work whistle. We were all asleep—my brother and his wife, my older sister and myself. I was seven years old at the time. Suddenly the door swung open, and a big burly luna burst in, screaming and cursing, ‘Get up, get to work.’ The luna ran around the room, ripping off the covers, not caring whether my family was dressed or not. I’ll never forget it.”Google Scholar
