Have you noticed that there are very few AAs on TV shows?
And those that are are not in leadership roles? There are lots of black bosses (think Captains Montgomery or Gates on Castle) - but you don't see any Asian bosses.
Overall, female AAs seem to be doing better on television than male AAs. There are a number of smart female AA characters who aren't objectified as sex kittens or dragon ladies:
 |
| Grace Park on Battlestar Galactica and Hawaii Five-0 |
 |
| Lucy Liu on Elementary |
 |
| Sandra Oh on Gray's Anatomy |
And some male AAs are also portrayed as smart and resourceful:
 |
| Daniel Dae Kim on Hawaii Five-0 |
But AA males are, by and large, portrayed as emasculated geeks.

| Matthew Moy on Two Broke Girls |
