Satire on Race

There is a television series called “Fresh Off The Boat” that jokingly promotes racism to the Asian community. Its story line consists of a family of Asian people that moved from Chinatown Washington D.C. to the suburbs in Florida. They opened a restaurant called, “Cattlemen’s Ranch”  and the producers made the wife a typical “cookie cutter Asian” who is a very aggressively smart women. Their oldest son’s character is really fond of black culture and not really so fond of being smart like their younger 2 son’s are which takes away the stereotype of all Asians are super smart. The show basically tries to make it seem like its okay for people to make fun of and stereotype Asians.
