Disney's Ms. Marvel has upended all the stereotypes about being Muslim or a South Asian.
There's a line in the show where the father quotes the Quran and tells the titular heroine Kamala,"If you save one life, you save the world." Hearing those words made me tear up. What a departure from seeing South Asians and Muslims portrayed asThat's just one example. Here are all the ways Ms. Marvel upends all the stereotypes about being Muslim or South Asian.
"For too long Hollywood and the media have relied on reductive, one-dimensional monolithic characters, as well as lazy sign-posting," said Rifat Malik, who runs American Muslim Today, a non-profit news outlet that challenges the media's negative stereotypes about Muslims."There was no mistaking her delight that a young brown girl who looked like her and shared her religious/cultural heritage was the protagonist of a major Disney production series," Malik told NPR.
And yet, putting a character in a hijab has become a sort of lazy shorthand for 'Muslim' in TV and film."Kamala ... represents a huge number of Muslim females who don't wear a headscarf and aren't consumed by angst over their faith - nor do their white friends need to liberate them from the oppressive structural patriarchy supposedly inherent in Islam."Muslims in film and television are always portrayed with such solemnity. Parents are closed-minded or controlling.
My heart ached with love seeing Yusuf dressed up as the Hulk in a shalwar kameez with green face paint — to bridge the gap between what his wife finds acceptable for their daughter and what their American teen daughter wants.
