Mission Statement
The purpose of this site is solely dedicated to actively promoting and improving the Asian male image in the Western media (and by Western we mean mainly the US dominated media; e.g. Hollywood). We are not here to denigrate anyone or simply to blame the media. That said, there is undeniably a social phenomena (historically grounded and media perpetuated) that leaves the Asian male at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to the mating game. Our aim is to help dispel negative notions and improve this image. We are here to engaged the topic and educate. Beyond this, we have no other agenda.
One might ask why is this necessary?
Unless you are an Asian male and have experienced life from this perspective, you won’t know what it’s like 100%. But as a group, Asian males in the US face much unfair and undue negative stereotyping. (Notice, this is not so much the case in non-Anglophone Western nations such as France, Sweden, Brazil.) For instance, it is acceptable by the established Europhallocentric psyche to depict the Asian man as an IT geek, or inept engineer (or any other role they sanction), but NEVER as a sexually desirable sex symbols. Consequently, despite the fact the statistically speaking, Asian men in the US tend to have, on average, the highest income, highest education, highest intelligence, highest savings rate, lowest crime rate, lowest divorce rate, etc., they are also statically the least likely to get married among all ethnic groups. One would think that with all those positive attribute, Asian men would be in more demand. Sadly, it’s not the case. Why is this? Either 1) it is an evident truth Asian men really are inferior to other men, or 2) there is something else entirely happening in the social consciousness accounting for this disparity (at least partially). We are firmly convinced of the latter, with the media being a binding culprit.
Why this is dangerous?
why should you care?
- First off, if you are an Asian male, you should care for obvious reasons as it directly affects your success in life, both professionally and personally.
- If you are an Asian female, consider that you’ll have men in your life to whom such media-enforced stereotyping will be directly affected, and yourself indirectly affected. Consider why the media continually re-enforces negative stereotypes of Asian male as sexually inept, why the media portrays the Asian female as hyper-sexual and paired predominately with white men? Who controls the media? Who benefits? (Hint, they are one and the same!)
- If you are a non-Asian female, why not consider dating an Asian guy? Find out for yourself how much of popular perception is truth and how much is myth. What do you have to lose? Some of the greatest men are Asian.
- To the enlightened white males, as part of the dominant majority you in a unique position to shape the world towards a more equitable place. Do your part to not perpetual stereotypes.
- To the unenlightened, egotistical, sophomoric majority out there… grow up and stop thinking you’re the center of the world, or that you’re better than anyone else. You’re not.
- To the all other non-white males… we feel your pain too. Fight the good fight. We support your causes, support ours. Educate, don’t perpetuate.
As stated, we want to portray the Asian male positively… and will draw on all necessary theory and fact to shed light accordingly. We only aim to show the true Asian male. Thus, in hoping for the world to be a equitable place, we offer our two cents; for, as Confucius said “Among the educated, there is no discrimination.” True, true.
