Bitch Magazine Tackles Asian American Male Sexuality

Via Bitch Magazine: “When I called up Sueyoshi to chat about the ‘cultural castration’ of Asian American men, historically cast as impotent nerds, lacking virility and sex appeal (or played derisively by white men, a la Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s), her insight quickly reminded me that explanations for How Things Came to Be are far more complex than the kneejerk responses and belief systems they manufacture over time. Because that’s what these gender- and ethnicity-based stereotypes are—prefab constructs that we erect, brick by brick, bound together with a mortar of fear and discrimination.” (Hat tip: Stan)
