“…This finding reinforces the assumptions that foreign media (e.g., Elasmer & Hunter, 1993; J. G. Kang, 1992) and ethnic media in the United States (Viswanath & Arora, 2000) can influence immigrants to adopt aspects of American culture while simultaneously reinforcing immigrants' native cultures (Moon & Park, 2007). This finding might also be explained by the notion of translocalism (Kraidy & Murphy, 2008), which implies that native media simultaneously accommodate and resist American stances.…”

“…Moreover, if the use of English language media could facilitate greater acculturation, a corollary question is whether the use of native language media is inversely associated with acculturation indicators. On one hand, it is plausible that foreign media can influence foreigners to adopt aspects of American culture (e.g., Elasmar & Hunter, 1993;J. G. Kang, 1992), and ethnic media in the United States may also play a social role of assimilating immigrants to American society (Viswanath & Arora, 2000).…”

Data from Princeton University's New Immigrant Survey were analyzed to examine the associations between immigrants' media use and 3 indicators of acculturation-current English proficiency, preference to use English in interactions, and American political knowledge. Findings show that pre-immigration uses of English language TV, radio, and print media and post-immigration use of English language print media were associated with higher current English proficiency. Pre-immigration use of native language print media and post-immigration uses of English language TV, radio, and print media were positively associated with a current preference to use English in interactions. Post-immigration use of native language print media was inversely associated with a preference to use English. Furthermore, post-immigration uses of native language radio and print media were positively associated with current American political knowledge. The findings imply that it is an oversimplification to assume that native language media hinders acculturation.

“…Although this study did not investigate the extent of the influence of religion and tradition as factors hindering the impacts of American television programs, to Kang (1992) and Kang and Morgan (1988), values in the host culture are strong determinants of the level of influence foreign media may exert. Culture in Kuwait is conventional and resistant to change.…”

“…Research points to the importance of cultural values and predispositions on any likely effects of American media worldwide. By way of illustration, Kang (1992) found that the effects of the American Forces Korean Network (AFKN), an American network, on the viewpoints of Korean students concerning equal gender roles were not significant. Kang suggested that the Confucian belief system, which promotes dominant male roles, strictly limited the influence of such programs on Korean students.…”

This study used a synthesis of media gratification and cultivation perspectives to investigate the influence of American television programs on endorsement of equal gender roles and liberal attitudes to life inKuwait. Analysis of the response of 364 university level students indicated four areas where programs could support the development of perceptions: presentation quality, utility, trans-cultural knowledge and information about American popular culture. Of these four areas, only the perception of utility predicted the development of a liberal outlook on life, while failing to predict approval of equal gender roles. Viewers of large amounts of American television are more likely to endorse equal gender roles and a liberal outlook on life.

Reflection as a Method: Asian Racialization in White Sport

Building upon reflexive autobiography to theorize Asian racialization in a globalizing circumstance, this paper focuses on how race is constructed transnationally by global media, and how global interconnectedness continues to project white Americanness, racialized anti-Black aesthetics, and otherization of Asianness in and through sport. I trace three historical conjunctures to build a connection between the collective history and my self-reflection on social contexts: Americanization through global media, aspiration of whiteness, and the criminalization of Blackness. With this, I attempt to articulate sport as the most convenient identity-making apparatus in immigrant America. This article concludes by highlighting the importance of the intersectionality of the asymmetric power structures that redress the miseducation that elides Asian narratives from sport.
