Hi everyone, my name is Kevin Thompson and I am a fourth year majoring in chemical engineering. Martial arts movies are my favorite example of Asian American popular culture.
I think popular culture is the information and ideas that are consumed by the majority of people. Popular asian american culture for me represents the portion of that popular culture mentioned earlier, but has a higher consumer base for asian americans compared to other ethnicities. This area is necessary for study because it allows for others to see the traditions and history of the different regions of Asia. Any ethnic studies is worthy of study for this same reason, to see how other cultures have and are currently contributing to American society.
I like martial arts movies too.
Whenever I think of Asian Am martial arts, I think of this 😛
