EPISODE 51- Why Are Asian Men Seen As "Less Attractive"?

You might have seen it before on TV or in the movies- the age-old nerdy, stereotypical unattractive Asian stereotype. From Breakfast at Tiffany's to Charlie Chan, early depictions of Asian men in the media have resulted in them being seen as a joke in the public eye. It's a bit rare to see something as blatantly racist as that on the big screen these days, so how come people still view Asians the same way people did in the 50's? Or conversely, why do some people like Asians a little too much? In this episode of Asian Girl In A Western World, Lulu and Yaya express the true feelings of Asian men when it comes to being either emasculated or fetishized in society, why people perceive Asian men the way they do, and what we can do about the issue of emasculation and fetishization of Asian men.

Produced and Edited by Lulu & Yaya
