As an Asian girl growing up in the
United States, I believe I was taught by the society to be
attracted to just about everyone besides other Asian men.
This marginalization of Asian men has occurred, in my view, for
several reasons.
First, the media never portrays Asian men in a dominant role.
They are always portrayed as nerdy, geeky, brainiacs, with no
sense of themselves and no ability to attract women. In other
words, the media portrays Asian men as incapable and
undesirable.
Second, American society has many negative stereotypes towards
Asian men. It has become a complete joke to think that an Asian
man could ever "satisfy" a woman.
Their "manlihood" is the constant subject of jokes and insults.
For this reason, most women view Asian men as asexual and
feminine.
For these reasons, Asian girl, and women in general in American
society are taught to view Asian men as undesirable and feeble.
As you will see, this is the reason why Asian girls are now up
for grabs...
Asian girls in our society, because of their conditioning, on the
whole do not prefer to date Asian men. In one of the discussion
classes I taught last year at Bangkok University, half of the
Asian girls in the room, stated that they do not prefer to date
Asian men.
Also, roughly every other girl in the class also agreed that they
prefer not to date Asian men. So, if Asian girls are on a trend
of not dating Asian men, who are they dating?
Asian Girls the class I taught generally gave me two answers to
this question. The most obvious one being White men, as people
around Bangkok and other cultural areas can most recognizably
notice.
The second most common answer from the Asian girls was Indian men
(South Asians). When I asked the Asian girls why the preferred
these two ethnic groups of men, their responses centered around
two areas: economic status and physical attractiveness.
In terms of economic status, the Asian girls said that both white
men and Indian men in our society, were viewed as successfull,
intelligent, and confident. These are all qualities that the
Asian community values.
Next, the Asian girls said that they found these two groups of
men to physically attractive. When I asked why, the responses I
recieved were varied.
My conjecture in this case would be that both groups tend to
share the same sharp features (Greco-Roman noses/eyes) that the
media tends to value.
So what is the end result of all this? Asian girls are "up for
grabs" and this has essentially devasted Asian men. Asian men are
getting the axe on two levels here. First, they are only seen as
being able to date their own kind (other Asian girls). At the
same time, their own kind, at an increasing rate, tends not to
prefer them sexually.
In conclusion, I have come to no conclusion. This is merely an
observation of mine as a student and teacher here at Berkeley.
However, I personally view this information as interesting and
helpful. And, I, as an Asian-American woman, bring it in to my
consideration when viewing Asian men.
