Abstract:
|
"This thesis focuses on how post-apocalyptic Hollywood movies and TV shows diversify
minority communities, specifically on the representation of the Asian characters. I will
discuss recent issues of its limitation on representing diversity of the Asian community in
Hollywood, and analyze how the post-apocalyptic genre can be beneficial for casting
minority characters outside of their stereotypes. The aim of this thesis is to study racial
problems in the Hollywood industry and how filmmakers can improve upon the lack of
representation of minorities."
