This study examines portrayals of Asian women in the hit reality television show 90 Day Fiance. Out of eight completed seasons, six of them feature eight Asian women who come to America holding K-1 visas, meaning they have to marry their fiance within 90 days or they must go back to their home country. A qualitative textual analysis was done on all the episodes of the show that feature Asian women with the goal of assessing how Asian women are portrayed and whether the show reinforces gender and racial stereotypes about Asian women. By observing interactions and non-verbal cues among the cast members, I was able to identify six major themes surrounding the portrayals of Asian women in the show. They are portrayed as: 1) the dragon lady, who is calculated and evil-spirited. She uses white men for her own financial or status gain; 2) the lotus flower, who is domestic and submissive. She doesn't make her own decisions very often and rarely speaks up for herself; 3) the mail-order bride, who can be ordered or purchased via the internet in a transaction that objectifies and materializes women; 4) the model minority, who is well-behaved and a rule follower. She stays in her lane and rarely steps out of line; and 5) the Other, whose character or culture are not normal. She is inferior or threatening to the white majority in America.
