A case of cultural misrepresentation in Hong Kong context

<p>In &ldquo;Come Home Love: Lo and Behold&rdquo;, a popular 8 pm soap opera in Hong Kong, there are a few characters of Filipino descent.</p> <p>Among them, notably Liza (Leslie Chiang) and Dino (Penny Chan). Liza is Ms Ko (Carisa Yan)&rsquo;s helper while Dino is Lui Kung&rsquo;s (Jason Pai) bodyguard.</p> <p>Having followed the show for some time, I recalled two of the main stereotypes in the characters and representations of Filipino descent:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Filipinos like mentioning their country.</strong></li> <li><strong>Filipinas are often obedient helpers and caretakers.</strong></li> </ul> <p>Below is some proof for the stereotypes above with translations.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@alfredycl/a-case-of-cultural-misrepresentation-in-hong-kong-context-7ef490e09631"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
