But it still affects Asian men, the notion that they are submissive and effeminate. This is true especially when they try to pick up non-Asian girls at the bar. Interesting. I don't think of Chinese or Korean men as effeminate. I do think that Japanese men are bit docile and maybe submissive. I am talking Chinese, Korean and Japanese men born in their respective countries. My sense of American Asian men is that they are like their Anglo, educated counterparts. Whether Anglo or Asian, I think education rounds out the edges and makes men less rough/macho. Have you seen that short-lived ABC sitcom Selfie? That show, among other things, tried to buck the stereotype by having John Cho (Harold and Kumar, Star Trek) as the male love interest. No. I just couldn't.......not with a title like Selfie. ;) John Cho is attractive guy but I don't think he's leading man material. Do you remember the guy in the Joy Luck Club.....one of the wives living in America had been married to him when she lived in China. He was very good looking and was a player in JLC. I had a friend tell me that when he broke open the watermelon she just about took off all her clothes. LOL. In any case his wife eventually ended up drowning her kid because she was so messed up over his fooling around. I don't know if he was American or Chinese but I was surprised he never got more leading man parts in American films. Another one that surprised me that she didn't get more work was the daughter who was the child chess prodigy.......the woman who played her as an adult was one hot woman. I thought for sure she would get more parts but I've only seen her in a couple of things since JLC. Maybe they don't get more work because too many Americans still see Asians as too ethnic.
