What do these common depictions of East Asian characters in mainstream American movies and television shows have in common?

Key Points: 
  • What do these common depictions of East Asian characters in mainstream American movies and television shows have in common?
  • They portray East Asians as hardworking and “book smart”—but not “street smart”—and lacking in creativity in a culture that places significant emphasis on creativity as a leadership quality.
  • As demonstrated by the experiments, the stereotype that East Asians lack creativity is salient in the absence of actual differences in creativity.
  • “Instead of focusing too much on a leader’s own creativity, organizations should consider encouraging leaders to nurture creativity in others,” says Lu.
