Weiler, **The New York Times*** **Editor's note:** While the iconic imagery of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S has captured the hearts and imaginations of countless viewers worldwide, it would be remiss not to address Mickey Rooney's portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi, which perpetuates a damaging caricature of Asian people found in Western classic media. Since the film's release, the filmmakers have reflected upon the inclusion of the stereotypical character, and we encourage viewers to engage in an open and thoughtful dialogue on this issue in the comment section. Rather than ignoring such representations in classic media, we hope viewers will take this opportunity to discuss the lasting effects these stereotypes can have. If you would like to learn more about Asian representation in the film industry, we recommend watching *The Slanted Screen*, *Edward Said On Orientalism*, and *Slaying the Dragon*, all available on Kanopy.
