The 'Asian Hair Streak' meme refers to a recurring visual trope in Western cinema and animation where an Asian female character is given a single, brightly colored streak of hair—often purple, pink, or blue—to signal that she is edgy, rebellious, or tough. This shorthand has been observed in various blockbusters like Pacific Rim, Big Hero 6, and X-Men, leading internet users to satirize the lack of creative diversity in representing Asian women. The meme is typically used to point out lazy character design or to joke about how Western media consistently relies on the same aesthetic cues to denote personality.
