Margaret Cho and Lisa Ling joined Meghan Markle on Archetypes’s first episode since Queen Elizabeth's death to discuss the “fantasy of Orientalism” and other stereotypes that Asian women face.
The Duchess of Sussex began her first episode since the hiatus by recalling the mixing pot of cultures she grew up surrounded by in Los Angeles and how “the multitude of Asian cultures was a huge part of that,” from visiting Little Tokyo on the weekends to enjoying a Korean spa day with her mom. She added, however, that she wasn't aware until recently of the negative and prejudiced characterizations of Asian women that exist out there.
The royal then invited Cho on to explain the “Dragon Lady” stereotype which she cited as originating in the “fantasy of Orientalism.” The comedian continued, “It's similar to the femme fatale…a woman who is beautiful and deadly. Because we can't just be beautiful. We have to have, like, it has to come at a cost and it's kind of like evil queen adjacent. But it's also so pinned to this idea that Asian-ness is an inherent threat. That our foreignness is somehow ‘gonna getcha.
In another segment, Ling revealed that her decision to pursue journalism was also largely a response to not seeing anyone who looked like her on TV. “To be honest with you, the reason why I pursued broadcast journalism at all was because growing up, it's the only path that I thought was available to me. I was someone who grew up in a broken home,” she said. “My parents were divorced when I was 7, and the television was always on in my home. It was like my favorite babysitter.
