According to Markle, a number of problematic depictions, such as those in Austin Powers and Kill Bill, portrayed these portrayals of Asian-American women as excessively sexualized or hostile. Before introducing Cho, Markle emphasised that this damaging stereotyping of women of Asian heritage did not simply end when the credits rolled. Cho noted that the archetype comes from the “dream of Orientalism.”
"I only wanted a bathing suit, but you're not allowed, just so you know. Once I had recovered from my teenage shame, my mother and I would go upstairs, sit in the upstairs room, enjoy a steaming bowl of the tastiest noodles, and observe the other women. These lovely Korean women shared the jimjilbang with one another and had embraced the generational custom."
She remembers, “Now those of you who haven’t been to one before it’s a very humbling experience for a girl going through puberty because you enter a room with women from ages 9 to maybe 90 all walking around naked, and waiting to get a body scrub on one of the tables lined up in a row.”
Meghan Markle spends some time with Lisa and Jett at the end of the episode. When Meghan asks both of them as she does with all of her Archetypes guests what three words best define them, Jett responds by using the word odd.

Markle Concluded
"I loved it," Meghan says of the "weird" definition. "Because she gets to. As we all get to define ourselves as we see fit."
Then Meghan says, “Be strange or sponge-like, stupid or fearless, inquisitive, or even self-conscious or uncertain some days and courageous and strong the next if that’s what you want to be. whatever it may be. You have the choice. Simply be who you are, regardless of what any societal framework, archetype, or loud voice coming from a remote location tells you you should be. Be genuine. Your entire, multifaceted, layered, occasionally weird, occasionally fantastic, but always best and true self. Be who you are. You are far superior to any archetype.”
