Bibliography
[edit]As for now, I have found 3 sources that I can look into for this research.
- Yi, S. S., Kwon, S. C., Suss, R., Ðoàn, L. N., John, I., Islam, N. S., & Trinh-Shevrin, C. (2022). The Mutually Reinforcing Cycle Of Poor Data Quality And Racialized Stereotypes That Shapes Asian American Health: Study examines poor data quality and racialize stereotypes that shape Asian American health. Health Affairs, 41(2), 296–303. https://doi.org/10.1377/hlthaff.2021.01417
(The article discusses the intertwined issues of poor data quality and racialized stereotypes affecting Asian American health outcomes. It highlights how structural racism, inaccurate data collection, and the lumping together of diverse Asian groups contribute to unclear health disparity drivers for these communities.)
- Chin, D., & Kameoka, V. A. (2019). Mentoring Asian American Scholars: Stereotypes and Cultural Values. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 89(3), 337–342. https://doi.org/10.1037/ort0000411
(The article emphasizes the need for cultural sensitivity in mentoring Asian American scholars, who face underrecognition despite experiencing high rates of anxiety, depression, isolation, and targeted microaggressions and discrimination.)
- Tashiro, S., & Conrad, C. A. (2009). Stereotypes, Asian Americans, and Wages: An Empirical Strategy Applied to Computer Use at Work. The American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 68(2), 427–443. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1536-7150.2009.00630.x
(This article examines the effect on wages of the Asian-American stereotype as mathematically and technically adept, and the role this stereotype may play in explaining racial wage differences.)

[edit]Outline of proposed changes
[edit]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.

In this section, write up a concise outline of how the sources you've identified will add relevant information to your chosen article. Be sure to discuss what content gap your additions tackle and how these additions will improve the article's quality. Consider other changes you'll make to the article, including possible deletions of irrelevant, outdated, or incorrect information, restructuring of the article to improve its readability or any other change you plan on making. This is your chance to really think about how your proposed additions will improve your chosen article and to vet your sources even further. Note: This is not a draft. This is an outline/plan where you can think about how the sources you've identified will fill in a content gap. |
