Sexy Asian Men
» Amorous Pop Culture
Digging into my mind for stereotypes of Asian males all that I can remember is back in school thinking that the few Asian kids in schools were like the Jewish ones: smart and hard working. The sexiest Asian guy I can think of is a transvestite. Though his beautify is as much in his individuality as his presentation.
Since Sexy Asian Men is aimed at the "successful Alpha male" I suspect the magazine is a racially profiled version of FHM or Maxim. Equal time or equal exploitation: depends on your point of view.
For years, the mass media have stirred up images that can only be described as anti-Asian male: quiet, submissive boy-toy guy, inscrutable kung-fu guy, asexual, pliant guy and chauvinistic blockheads are a few of the usual suspects.

I wonder what could be the image of an “Asian man”. Arab? Hindu? Japanese? Siberian? Paki? Hey, we’re talking about a whole world, more than half the men on Earth (I guess).
