Meghan Opens Up About Asian Women In Hollywood

Meghan Markle touches upon 'sterotypes' related to Asian women in Hollywood.

Speaking with guests comedian Margaret Cho and broadcaster Lisa Ling on the latest episode of Archetypes, the Duchess of Sussex talks about how Asian women have limitations in the society.

Meghan admitted she had “real love of getting to know other cultures” since she was a little girl. 

She said: “I hadn’t known all the stigmas and archetypes that so many women of Asian descent had faced until many years later. Those terms, those ideas, those stereotypes; they weren’t familiar to me, like the ones we see in so many movies, and throughout pop culture.” 

Ms Cho then added how Hollywood sees Asian women as an "evil exotic force." 

“‘Dragon Lady’ really comes from this fantasy of orientalism. It’s actually a character that is similar to the femme fatale. In that, a woman who is beautiful and deadly. Because we can’t just be beautiful, it has to come at a cost," the comedian began/

“And it's kind of like the evil Queen adjacent but it's also so pinned to this idea that Asiannessis an inherent threat that our foreignness is somehow [going] to get [you]. Mystery and exoticism are part of it and unfortunately, that trope has stuck to film but also to Asian American women or Asian women," admitted Ms Cho.
