Just Like Everyone Else
In my article, I have chosen to review Bhoomi K. Thakore's dissertation titled, "Just Like Everyone Else? Locating South Asians in 21st Century American Popular Media". Not many of the author's statements and quotes are cited. The paper is consistently neutral and provides a balanced view on her topic of South Asians represented in media. She argues that though South Asians are being more represented in media and are obtaining less stereotypical roles, they still maintain certain stereotype characteristics in their roles today. She retrieves her information from 155 online questionnaires and 55 interviews.

Must-See TV: South Asian Characterizations in American Popular Media
In a review written by Bhoomi K Thakore, titled "Must-See TV: South Asian Characterizations in American Popular Media",, Thakore is critically analyzing the ethic characterizations of South Asians in media, specifically popular online magazines. She states, "I use literature from the sociology of race/ethnicity,immigration, and critical media studies to identify the concept of “(ethnic) characterization." She begins her review by discussing South Asian immigration and assimilation to help understand the influence of South Asian representation media. She goes on to discuss her topics in what seem to be chronological, by discussing topics such as, "The radicalization of South Asians", and "South Asian characterizations in American popular media and society."

Asian American Media Studies and the Problem of Legibility
In Peter X Feng's article in the journal, "Asian American Media Studies and the Problem of Legibility", he discusses Aziz Ansari's Netflix tv show, Master of None. . Feng researches popular Asian American tv shows and finds that though Asian American representation in media causes tension in clarity and critique, it is because Asian Americans are drawn to those model minority positions, despite the fact that it is can be racist/stereotyped at most times.
