![]() Wait hold on Asian women don’t get a pass either, as Park’s mom is painted as the oppressive parent who doesn’t like “weird white girls”, but according to Eleanor… So no, Eleanor never gets over Othering her boyfriend. This Othering, this fetishization, does not stop through the entire book. Who, as you might know from the Flash Gordon comic, was originally introduced in 1934 and is a pretty clear stand-in for, uh… yellow peril. ![]() Here have some more grossness around those oh-so-exotic “Asian” eyes Some are so ridiculously racist they left me wondering if the book was written in the 1950s.īy the way this is so very Memoirs of a Geisha-y because Park happens to be a half-Korean kid who LOOKS more Asian than his brotherīut Park has green eyes!!!!! so magical!!!! So EXOTIC!!! Also “almond-flavored” please that’s not the most cliched description for Asian eyes in the book ![]() Warning there are some rather gross fetishizing and racist stereotypes in the samples she post from Rowell's book. Here are some choice excerpts from this fantastic book review. ![]()
