The desexualization of the Asian American male
Chinese American photographer Andrew Kung takes a difficult look at why so many Asian American males feel desexualized in US society.
edition.cnn.com
I always knew that, as an Asian American man growing up in the United States, I wasn't as desirable or "American" as my peers.
As a kid, I never saw Asian men dating outside of our race, or with white women especially. Non-Asian women felt inaccessible, fueling a preexisting feeling of invisibility -- one driven by micro-aggressions, a lack of representation and, ultimately, stereotypes that painted us as passive, emasculated boys lacking sex appeal and a voice.
Brutal truth article here.. surprising to see it on CNN tbh.
