In class we discussed how Asian Americans are considered by some to the the “model minority”. They have integrated into American life and many have high levels of education and success in the workplace. And now there is a reality TV show that is exploiting these stereotypes for marketing for their new show. Due to the success of the show The Jersey Shore there are now a few similar shows in production using the same type of set up. But instead of using more “guidos” they are using Russians, with the setting in Brighton Beach and Asians. A sneak peak of footage of the new Asian reality show K-Town has just come out.

Do you think a show like this will change the typical view of Asians that the American people have?
