Markle maintainted that, “This toxic stereotyping of women of Asian descent…this doesn’t just end once the credits roll.” As a case in point, she introduces sociologist Nancy Wang Yuen who wrote about the Dragon Lady stereotype in her book. Yuen told the story of being catcalled by a man using a line out of“I myself have been propositioned in an airport in Atlanta of all places by a stranger who said, ‘Me so horny,’ just yelled it out to me.”

Yuen explained, “I knew why because I looked around and I thought and I saw that I was the only Asian woman in that area. I knew he was talking to me, even though I don’t even know if he’d [ever] seenShe goes on to detail the line’s enduring popularity, being referenced in a hit song by 2 Live Crew as well as in “shows like

Someone, anyone please shut her up. If it's not me me me than it's bad mouthing in some way.

Load of tutt

Margaret Cho's didnt have a problem w/ stereotypes here on her own podcast: 'This week Margaret chats with her good friend, Quentin Tarantino! Quentin drops behind the scenes stories ...'

Says the z list actress that couldn't cut it in tinsel town other than to perform a blow job & listed in credits as 'other'🤣🤣🤣Gawd, ya can't make this stuff up

I'm sorry but how does Meghan Markle suddenly become an expert in everything. These are just her opinions. Which she has every right to, but she was an actress not anyone who has training in any field that would make her an expert in any issues.

The article is great, but I don’t understand why you allow such hateful comments targeting Meghan?

Where was the call out? Do you even know what it means to call something out? She referenced them, that is not a “call out”.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m not sure that Meghan Markle highlighted the ever growing problem of violence towards East Asians in America disproportionately by those in the black community. I think that’s the real story here.

If they abolished the monarchy years ago she wouldn't even be famous

This appears to be a terrible hot take. You had time to get it right but you prefer to create controversy to get hits. How sad and desperate.

I call Meghan out for her toxic portrayal of family.

I guess she was fine with how Austin Powers stereotyped British people's teeth? She doesn't care about her husband nearly as much as the spotlight.

OMG yes!! And let’s not forget Hong Kong Phoey! Cartoon dogs also feel the deep hurt of negative Asian stereotyping. Not all Asian people eat dogs you know!!

I agree the Kill Bill movies were racist for showing a White woman better at martial arts than Asians. Quentin did the same thing in One Upon a Time in Hollywood. He wishes that were the case.

Kill Bill series are such awesome movies! I did not see any stereo typical roles in the movies! The female actors in the series were strong and powerful!

🤯🤦🏽‍♂️

🚫❌🤡

Queen

Idc about kill bill but Austin Powers and FMJ are untouchable

People who base their opinions on click bait article titles are a sad lot. She didn't do that. At all. Lying Deadline

that 'fook me, fook yu' bit was horrible, retrospectively but-- let's not overstep our role as allies trying to correct the Asian community for tropes that Asian actors play. they can handle it themselves. just as they shouldnt correct Black folk for intra-community issues🖤🖤

on Margaret Cho's podcast: 'This week Margaret chats with her good friend, Quentin Tarantino! Quentin drops behind the scenes stories ...' 'Full Metal Jacket' yeah, an 80's movie about the Vietnam War, really hard hitting eye opening podcast, Lolo

Hey Deadline! With this click bait headline: Tell me you didn't listen to the podcast without telling me you didn't listen to the podcast. You people are insufferable!!

Kill Bill is legendary in pop culture and gave us iconic Asian characters. Lucy Liu was so badass in it. Meg Markle need to take a seat. MeghanMarkleisaLiar MeghanMarkIeisanarcissist MeghanMarkleIsAGrifter

All great movies

hello British Royals... what's stopping you from taking away the titles of these two brats who didn't earned except Prince Harry...

i mean as an asian yeah but also bro stop trying to cancel classics ://

Vibez_Gisselle I wouldn’t click on this lie, not ever

Lady, what the damn hell? Dont you have enough paps paying attention to you?

Holy fuck knuckle batman

And that demi Moore pic looks rough!

pick a struggle

Austin Powers was spoofing EVERY character. Notice she didn’t say anything about James Bond because the Broccolis would have fired back at her. Full a metal Jacket is historical events, and Lucy Liu is a badass in both Kill Bill and Charlie’s Angels Get over it.

That’s not what she said. She said phrases and scenarios from these films jumped off the screens and became engrained in our culture.

Ex-Gameshow Model has Context Free Hot Take about 20-something-year-old Movies...!

She didn’t. Stop this. It’s dishonest reporting

She’s so negative

annettekavoki Stop this nonsense. She did not. Why lie?

nahhhhhhh get the fuck outta here

Stfp

So?

Oohhh pppaaallleeeeaaassse 😳

No one gives a shit

She must be bored….

she's so real

They are MOVIES… mostly set in time periods that make this historically accurate

She's a toxic stereotype of celebrities who ask for privacy but can't stop begging for attention.

These movies are 20-30 years old. Full Metal Jacket came out in 1987!

‘Say sorry for that film you made 20 years ago because I don’t like it anymore’ 🤦‍♂️

Here we go🙄

Such powerfull words from an Asian woman herself. Thank you, Meghan. 🙏🙏🙏

She’s about as Asian as I am black

Um. She didn't do that but ok.

Lucy Liu didn’t slay us all in Kill Bill to be disrespected like this by Meghan Markle!
