Ep. 34 - Outdated Asian American Tropes

The Unverifieds talk about certain Asian American narrative tropes that either need to evolve or just be retired. They review Boogie (spoilers from 17:50 to 38:05) which employs a number of these tropes, including 2nd generation culture clashing, Asian masculinity insecurities, and interracial relationship dialogues. In their weekly rundown, they also discuss Harvard mental health services' handling of anti-Asian violence, Manny Pacquiao telling anti-Asian racists to fight him instead, and the weird inclusion of the droogs from A Clockwork Orange in Space Jam 2.
