But anecdotally, I can say it manifests in the world of heterosexual dating, which seems innocuous in comparison to larger components of our lives, but is still important.
I think this problem is part and parcel to the long standing sexualization/fetishizing of Asian women.. and to a larger degree, white supremacy which is at the root of all this ****.

THIS 100000000%. And then to other males, this characterization makes us appear weak and easily picked on and so now when people are super racist we have the crazy rise of attacks on Asians.
he did an interview. times are tough, you do what you have toi don't use doordash or any of those services but it's wild to me that this dude goes out and does deliveries in his car with his kids in the back, presumably because he can't afford not to
Yep got it the night of.
They found the car in bay view around 1:00am with the kids still inside. A lot of people called in with tips after getting the alert

Lol. It is a new profile. Scrolling through to see what this whole thread was about. Don't take offense to what I asked. It's a fair question and judging by your upvotes you must be a resident here. Still didn't answer my question, but that's fine. I'm here to understand what purpose this thread is supposed to serve and how far it's come along.This Thread is an open forum where interested parties are free to socialize, interact and share from each other.
You would know that if took the time to actually read the previous 400+ pages and developed a rapport with those who been here.
But then your profile seems very new.
What are you here for?
in terms of the portrayal of the model minority, rather than spend time explaining pre-existing research, i'll just share some articles:

in regards to your comment about the portrayal of Asian males, there's definitely a long history of the emasculation of asian men via the movie screen. I woudn't go as far as blaming Asian actors for taking on roles that perpetuate stereotypes and racist tropes. while I don't fully agree with it, I can understand that discrimination and racism in hollywood might force your hand. I would say recently, however, asian male protagonists have been on screen and have been portrayed in multiple representations/nuanced manners. Asian actresses/actors are starting to break certain barriers. and i'm sorry, but if you don't know those names of those actors, then you must have your head in the sand.
Save your money and make it at home.The purpose of this thread is to figure out which is better, Yi Fang or Tiger Sugar?

definitely. I could be oversimplifying things but traditionally it's easy for folks to target and pick on immigrant communities since they're vulnerable and don't have a strong network of support of community protection. the wild thing is some Asian communities have been here for multiple generations but we're constantly projected as the "perpetual foreigner." It's that notion that allows Donald Trump to just call covid the "china virus" without having to think about the repercussions and violence it'll elicit against Asian communities since we're always just outsiders, never "Americans."
I'm wrong more times than I'm right so someone feel free to check me.
Thanks bro! I'm thinking why am I being isolated and attacked for asking questions? Maybe I came on a little too strong. Lol.Race or politics threads get disingenuous folks sometimes so the thread regulars get defensive when a post sounds sideways, just a heads up. Especially now during COVID times.
The point of this thread is to discuss Asian/Asian-American culture, just as it says in the title. We share news stories, discuss cultural/social/political events/trends, post funny memes that we relate to. Sometimes the thread is serious like with COVID, racist attacks and other times it's light with K-pop discussion or Post Your Rice Cooker.
Spot on. I would say that multiple generations applies for a minority of groups (Chinese/Japanese) that came over before WW2. Most Asian immigration took place after crappy immigration restrictions were lifted in the 60's, so there was a big wave in the 70's/80's. I'm sure most of us in this thread are first generation American children of immigrant parents.
The idea of the constant "other"/"orientalism" persists IMO because of relatively recent immigration, poor understanding if/fluency in English, and most crucial IMO is that Asian immigrants tend to settle into communities among their countrymen (ethnic enclaves) like Chinatowns, Little Tokyos, Little Saigons etc. due to comfort and to help adjust to the new country. Unfortunately that doesn't help with integrating into the larger community/society and sorta walls them off.
Lastly, a lot of people are just racist *******s who fear/condemn anyone who looks different.
no i havent but im deff gonna check out those vids from your post when i have timeHave you seen the CNA series on the food tray situation for Singapore? Never knew. Funny irony for such a country known for disciplined order.
Have watched Master of None? The show touched on this.brushed off, ignored. Asians don't have the collective voice/forum for any kind of major pushback. "It's just casting/jokes/a minor character/etc". John Cho has stated before that he doesn't take roles that play on Asian stereotypes and has refused to fake an accent for a part in a movie, but at the same time he's really the only (relatively) big name Asian-American male getting bigger roles.
