摘 要

本文以原版的《疯狂的亚洲富豪》作为研究对象。这本小说的面世，使得中国的富豪受到全世界的关注。但是小说深层次的问题却值得人们的思考。本文以刻板印象为研究的理论基础，以书中的主要人物作为研究的对象，从而得出相应的观点：相较于之前美国人对于亚裔美国人的刻板印象，书中的主要人物改变了这种印象，同时这部书的同名电影更是打破了好莱坞对于亚裔的刻板印象。所以我认为亚裔在美国会有一个更美好的未来。

Research on the stereotype of Crazy Rich Asians

1. Introduction

The author of Crazy Rich Asians is Kevin Kwan. When Kwan’s family moved to Texas, he was eleven, he grew up in Singapore. Crazy Rich Asians is Kwan’s first novel. This book is famous for it’s nutty characters and their delightfully wicked excesses. It becomes a breakout best seller and a popular ‘beach read’. The appearance of this novel has made the richest people in Asia, especially the rich in China, attract the attention of the whole world. At the same time, the movie of the same name adapted from this novel last year also caused a frenzy in the United States.

Crazy Rich Asians tells the story of wealthy Asians. In novel, only a small number of people are ordinary people, and most of them are rich.

The history of Chinese immigration to the United States is also very long. However, the problem of racial discrimination against Chinese in American society has always existed, which is due to the stereotype of Chinese in the hearts of Americans. Most of the early Chinese immigrants in American history were uneducated workers, because language barriers were often given a "silent" stereotype. They made great contributions to the construction of railway projects across the United States. After the railway completion, the employment problem was squeezed out. After the promulgation of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, American public opinion tools began to smear and defile Chinese.

The formation of stereotypes is mainly due to the fact. In social life, no one has the time and energy to have an in-depth understanding of each member of each group, but only with some of them. Therefore, it is only possible to infer all of them, and use the parts that are in contact to infer all of this group. However, once stereotyped, it is difficult to break. At the same time, it will have a great impact on people's cognitive process.
