Media Analysis

This ad is from an Italian fashion designer called Dolce and Gabbana. In this picture you could see an Asian model who is trying to eat a cannoli dessert and a pizza with a chopstick. This is stereotyping/ bias towards Asian people because chopstick is only used for certain type of food sizes. A chopstick is a part of the Asian culture.  During this ad, Dolce and Gabbana had a fashion show in china, but then it got cancelled because of this racist ad they did. People need to stop stereotyping not only Asian people, but other minority. I guess Dolce and Gabbana is promoting that by wearing the dress the Asian model is wearing in the picture it could make you use the chopstick very well.

Link video of this racist ad:

Two discussion questions:

1.) Conflict: How could Dolce and Gabbana fix this situation with china people?

2.) Enigma: Would this stereotype affect China people and Italian people?
