Kitty Constraints Series
From the stories of Marco Polo’s adventures in the East, to late nineteenth century European colonialism, the West has always hypersexualized females of the “Orient”. Internalizing this form of racial trauma contributes to the normalization of the constrictive stereotypical images prescribed to Asian females. While the idea of “model minorities” on the surface may seems safe, it locks us into a power dynamic that plays into white supremacy and patriarchy.
