Christina Yang thesis

Christina Yang’s character in Grey’s Anatomy resists racial and gender stereotypes which is exemplified through her respectable, serious role as a doctor, her acquired American accent, as well as her independent, dominant, and unemotional characteristics. Her character has progressively challenged gender and racial ideologies but when the episode, Elevator Love Letter, reveals many underlying facets to her character, specifically her weaker, emotional side, audiences are left to question whether Christina’s character has actually made that much progress in defying stereotypes.
