YouTube Video Quality
With today's modern technology, many households have affordable access to high quality cameras. Would you watch an entire upload on YouTube with low video quality? (e.g. grainy picture and/or poor sound) If so, what would the video have to possess in order to keep your interest?

Youtube
As we watched Peter Chao, we found his accent to be appealing and captured the attention of his audience.. His points are about family, himself, politics, other videos on youtube.. almost anything of controversy. We are trying to find his portrayal of asian americans/ asian canadians.

Youtube Group Assignment
My group chose Wong Fu Productions.
What I find interesting about Wong Fu Productions is that they create many different types of videos from different genres instead of only focusing on one genre.

Youtube Channel
For our youtube channel, my group chose Peter Chao's channel.
What I found interesting was that for every video, he used a very asian/chinese accent. It seemed like he tried to do every chinese stereotype in most of his videos as well.

Media
If you have noticed, Asians are hardly portrayed in the media other than as their stereotypical counterparts. Examples to illustrate this point:
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift - Although it was set in Japan and there were a number of Japanese extras, the main character was a white man, and the Japanese characters were viewed in a semi-stereotypical light.
The Ninja Assassin and Rush Hour movies: Although there is an Asian man as the main character, they are seen in the same light everyone knows them to be - karate/kung fu fighters and ninjas.
Why is it like that? How do we change it?
