For this week’s discussion question, look on social media, on TV or in an online publication for a RECENT visual or video meme/image that illustrates what Edward Said describes as Orientalism OR one that illustrates a meme of mestizo/blandishment. Post the image into the discussion, or a link to the image, and explain when (date), where and how you found it (the source). If you found it on social media, name the platform.
How is this an example of Orientalism or mestizo/blandishment? Be specific. Demonstrate that you are able to correctly understand Orientalism and can use terms mentioned in the lecture and the reading. Feel free to also mention the intro-action you may have had in response to seeing this meme.
