Outline of proposed changes
The topic is Stereotypes of East Asians in the United States. This topic is important and meaninful because it helps us understand how people see East Asians in the United States and how this affects people's lives. For someone who is Chinese, talking about stereotypes can help others see how these ideas are not true for everyone and encourage more respect and kindness between people from different backgrounds. It's about making sure everyone is treated fairly and can share their own story.

The existing Wiki page on stereotypes of East Asians in the United States covers a range of topics, including exclusion or hostility, food stereotypes, the model minority myth, and their depiction in American fiction and media. However, there appears to be a significant gap in exploring the personal and community impact of these stereotypes. This includes the psychological toll, such as mental health challenges, the social consequences like isolation, and economic barriers to advancement that East Asian individuals face. Additionally, the interaction of these stereotypes with other identity aspects, including gender, class, and immigration status, is underexplored. An intersectional approach would offer a richer, more nuanced understanding of how these stereotypes affect diverse individuals within the East Asian community in varied ways.

To make the Wiki page better, my plan is to add more information about how stereotypes affect East Asians in America in many ways. This would include talking about how these stereotypes can make people feel stressed or anxious, which is a big problem for mental health. I could also talk about how stereotypes can make it harder for East Asians to do well in their jobs or feel like they belong in their community. Plus, I could explain that these stereotypes can impact people differently, depending on things like whether they are a man or woman, rich or poor, or if they were born in another country. By researching and adding this information, the page would help people understand more about these stereotypes and why it's important to see East Asians in a true and fair way, which could help everyone get along better.
