埃莉诺和公园

别烦,这本书。埃莉诺是一个字符,经常是种族主义对她“爱的兴趣,”公园。同时,公园甚至不是一个传统的韩国名字,而是一个姓。作者刻板的有色人种和特征主要是由种族偏见与种族有关。公园的母亲被称为“中国娃娃”。Don't bother reading this book or watching the movie.

这本书上市以来,许多读者(包括我自己)已经意识到这本书包含很多偶然的种族主义打击,亚洲人的重视,和有害的刻板印象通常涉及朝鲜人和美籍韩国在这个故事。首先,作者使两个主要人物是“奇怪的”和“局外人”。埃莉诺是奇怪的,因为她的红头发,公园是“奇怪的”,因为他…是亚洲人。种族主义公园面临不应该等同于埃莉诺的头发的颜色和重量。埃莉诺通常集中在公园和他母亲的表象,通常以消极的方式。她说,“他的妈妈看起来就像一个娃娃…小和完美…埃莉诺想象公园的爸爸,医生的汤姆·塞莱克,吃美味的中国的人到他的防弹衣和溜她从朝鲜。“比较应该是一种恭维如何精致和“完美”公园的母亲,但是它进一步加强了亚洲人的刻板印象是微小的,“精致”,所有的亚洲人都是一样的。她打电话给他的母亲一个“中国的人”,当她实际上是韩国人。埃莉诺后来说:“公园的眼睛瞪大了。…,有时她想知道他的眼睛的形状影响他看见东西的方式。 That was probably the most racist question of all time”. She knows she's being racist, but no one ever does anything to change this. “Park” is a Korean last name, not first name. Park embodies many common East Asian stereotypes: he takes taekwondo (which is incorrectly used interchangeably with “kung fu”), is great at math, struggles in English, and is often described as “small” and “feminine-looking”. He also has a lot of self-loathing, mostly having to do with being half-Korean. Park also has a lot of internalized anti-Asian hatred, and doesn’t think he’s attractive specifically because he’s Asian. The book also contains harmful stereotypes in Eleanor’s friends, two Black girls who are only loud, sassy, and constantly ready to fight someone. There are many other things to say, but I wanted to keep this as concise as possible. Please seek other books by Authors of Color! Books I recommend instead: - Love From A to Z by S. K.
