Treball de fi de Màster en Estudis Internacionals sobre Mitjans, Poder i DiversitatThis study utilized a thematic analysis and looked at Netflix’s TV series Beef. It looks
at the representation of Asians/Asian Americans and identifies if the characters’ traits
are stereotypical or not. The literature review includes studies about model minority,
perpetual foreigner, and the over/de-sexualization of Asian men and women. In
these results, it talks about the portrayal of these characters having more emotional
depth, familial pressures to be providers for the family, and rich vs. poor depictions of
asians. Overall, Beef humanized Asian/Asian American characters that both defied
and conformed to antiquated stereotypes.
