About Us

The reason we exist...
Despite how TV, film, fashion mags, and news media stereotype them, Asians aren't all:
• Kung fu masters, accented untrustworthy foreigners, terrorists, or evil gangsters,
• Sneaky dragon ladies, exotic, submissive sex objects,
• Asexual, or chauvinistic Asian men,
• Asian women who exclusively date White/Black men (as depicted in media), or who are oppressed.
The media still fetishizes Asian women and marginalizes Asian men, creating damaging stereotypes, racism, and self-hate for Asian youth.

An Introduction

The ANBM Source is an active online community, we are devoted to raising media awareness and help represent the Asian cultural message lacking in western mainstream media.

Some of us are entertainers, directors, musicians, activists, educators and professionals; collectively working together to promote Asian cultural identity, improve media diversity and racial equality.

We are Asian, Asian American-Canadian-Briton-Australian descent and friends, collectively working to promote Asian cultural identity and positively represent Asian people in the media.

The name 'ANBM' was derived from a Facebook community named 'Asians Not Brainwashed by Media' founded by Alvin Lin in 2006 with the intention of leveraging social networks to educate and connect like-minded individuals.

After phenomenal membership growth, we were able to create a library of useful media information and discussions. It's growing status eventually became a nexus for icons and activists within entertainment and media network.

Alvin has entrusted the current Facebook community to the current administrators, who have also created this website to take advocate and educate those outside Facebook, for internet readers and supporters around the globe.

This website has been online since 2-Jan-2009
