Your task: Rewrite the plot of the movie to directly engage with and challenge the "perpetual
foreigner" stereotype? In your rewriter version of the movie respond to the following prompts:
What changes would you make to the story to show Shang-Chi's full Asian American
identity-including his life in America?
How could the movie address the ways Asian Americans are often seen as outsiders.
even when they are American-born or long-time residents?
How might the revised story show Asian Americans resisting or confronting the systems
and dominant narratives that define who gets to be seen as "American"?
How does your version help viewers better understand the AAPI experience and the
impact of being labeled a perpetual foreigner?
