Comments on: Rainbow Nation and Gay Asian Male Stereotypes http://www.littleyellowdifferent.com/rainbow-nation-and-gay-asian-male-stereotypes/ A weblog by Ernie Hsiung Sat, 16 Apr 2011 11:24:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John Timothy http://www.littleyellowdifferent.com/rainbow-nation-and-gay-asian-male-stereotypes/comment-page-1/#comment-130348 John Timothy Sat, 16 Apr 2011 11:24:24 +0000 http://www.littleyellowdifferent.com/rainbow-nation-and-gay-asian-male-stereotypes/#comment-130348 My 10 pennies worth. I am a white male and mainly gay, I say mainly because there is still a little spark of the hetorsecual about me occasionally; but dismiss that, I do. I date Asian guys, and I only date Asian guys. Call me a racist if you like but frankly I find them attractive. Yes some of them are very smooth, but some of them are not. Some of them are a little girly like, but by no means all. Submissive. I have never dated a submissive Asian in my life. In fact every Asian I have ever been with has been very dominant; and I would not have it any other way. The point about stereotypes is that they are almost always wrong. They are general views of entire populations. I don't date Asian guys because they are Asian, I date them because i like their culture, i like their intelligence, i like their education and yes, i like the way they look... My 10 pennies worth.

Even though most gay Asians and gay whites say that dating exclusively with one another is their personal choice and preference (which I find it just a cover up BS=escape from reality), there is always some kind of inner hole in their hearts which must messed them up when they were kid or teenager. So, it is not their fault or anything, it's just unfortunate. In general, the issues range from self-hatred to father figure. But no one will ever know or can figure out what exactly their inner-issues are but themselves. The thing is that, though, most people are unaware of their that inner issues because they are "sleeping". Once you get to awakened your shell by something or someone, you will feel sexually enlightened; then, perhaps, you will start seeing people beyond their races (aka: as human being). Only then and there, you will feel true love. As long as you or your LTR are based on or attached to race, you will always empty deep down. That's one of the main reason why having true love is rare among gays. Cheers Very interesting stuff!

I do not like stereotypes, but . . Sociologists believe that mental categorizing (or labelling) is necessary and inescapable and stereotypes may be automatic, implict or subconscious. In the Gay community we have food groups. If one is attracted exclusively or primarily to White ethnics, one is a "potato queen"; to Jews, one is a "bagel queen"; to Blacks, one is a "chocolate queen"; to Latinos, one is a taco queen; to Asians, one is a "rice queen." While there is no term for Whites attracted to Whites, Jews attracted to Jews, Blacks attracted to Blacks or Latinos attracted to Latinos, there is a term for Asians attracted to Asians: "sticky rice." Westerners would not know what is sticky rice had Easterners not taught them about this delicacy. And it is not Westerners, but Easterners who coined the term. So one could say that Asians have nobody to blame but themselves and in more ways than one. Many Gay men do not wish to date within their own group, because they feel it would be like dating themselves. This could be equally true for every racial or ethnic group, but it happens not to be. Historically, Gaysians have felt this way to a greater extent than other ethnic groups who have been just as much the victims of discrimination. Where Asians are scarce and Occidentals plentiful such as in most Western societies, Asians become a precious commodity. Where Occidentals are scarce and Asians plentiful as in most Asian societies, Occidentals are a precious commodity. Given the common Asian claim that outsiders think that all Asians look alike, Occidentals are in no position to make the fine negative distinctions which Asians freqently make amongst themselves Ask the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans what they think of one another. Ask the Vietnamese, Thais and Cambodians what they think of one another. Ask the Lao and the Hmong what they think? Studies show all outgroups tend to look alike to ingroups. What % of Asians could distinguish a Kenyan from a Nigerian from Ugandan? A Guatemalan from a Nicaraguan from a Paraguayan? A Scot from a Cornish from a Welsh? Not many I venture. Studies show that not only anthropolgists but Asians cannot even distinguish themselves from one from another. Much as Gaydar is a lot worse than homosexual people think, so is X-Asian. Some theorize that one reason for stereotypes is the lack of personal, concrete familiarity that individuals have with persons in other racial or ethnic groups and that this lack of familiarity encourages the lumping together of unknown individuals. One reason people stereotype is that it is too difficult to take in all of the complexities of other people as individuals. Even though it is inexact, it is an efficient way to mentally organize large blocks of information. Categorization is essential for humans, because it enables us to simplify, predict and organize our world. Assigning general characteristics to members of a group saves time and satisfies the need to predict the world in a general sense. Stereotypes can have negative or positive impact on individuals. Research on psychological effects of stereotyping has shown competence is highly responsive to situations and interactions. In one study, mathematically competent White males were asked to take a difficult test. One group was told this was being done to determine why Asians were scoring better and performed significantly worse than the other group. Possible prejudicial effects of stereotypes are: In literature and art, storytellers throughout history have drawn from stereotypical characters and situations in order to connect with the audience with new tales immediately. Some critics believed that political correctness since the 1960's has led to another stereotypical image where people are often depicted too positively. Many "people of color" (Blacks who think that Latinos steal their jobs, Latinos who look at Asians as foreigners and Asians who think that Blacks are stupid) are united in their belief that Whites have cornered the market on racism and there are no negative stereotypes of Whites. There are many negative terms for White people especially in non-Western cultures. In the 1860's, he Irish Catholic' was one viewed as an "other" or a different race in construction of the English nationalist myth and vice versa. So much for the common Asian perception that it is only they who have been characterized as foreigners. There have been cartoons depicting physiognomies of human ethnic groups to animals. Thus Irishmen resembled dogs, Yankees were like bears, Germans like lions, blacks like elephants and Englishmen like bulls. There are also anti-Italian as well as anti-Polish stereotypes. Jews have been stereotyped throughout centuries and made scapegoats for a multitude of societal problems. Jews are still stereotyped as greedy, nit-picky, misers. Early films stereotyped Jews as "scheming merchants" counting money. Trying to live up to sexual stereotypes may lead to frustration and have damaging effects. They have the ability to create an idea that some are better than others based on their sexual abilities and sexual organs. People with negative views of gay, lesbian, and transgender people often use stereotypes and that includes LGBT people as in this case. There is something called "joining the argument" which has to do with one's arguing on the questionable ground of another. When another characterizes Asians as effeminate bottoms with small penises, Asians commonly argue the point which convinces nobody. All it does is reinforce the idea that there is something wrong with being effeminate bottom with a small penis. There are anthropological studies which show that much as comparisons of racial and ethnic groups show differences in average height they show differences in average penis sizes. Who cares? The people who buy into significance of size. The fact is that not unlike many other Gay men of various ethnicities, Asians prize penis size. I.e. They are "size queens." And given the average Asian penis size is smaller than that of other ethnic groups, it just may be there are proportionately more Asian size queens. It is a biological fact that Asian men have less testosterone than men of other ethnic groups. It is for this very reason that Asian men tend to bald later, have smoother skin and look younger than their age peers in other ethnic groups. Men tend to be more polygamous than women. Thus it stands to reason that there are more bottoms than tops throughout the Gay male world. Not unlike Straight men, many -- not all -- Gay tops are attracted to youthful looking men of smaller stature with less body hair than they. And nobody fits the bill better than Asians who indeed have those characteristics to a greater extent than men of other ethnic groups. Meanwhile many Gaysian men complain that nobody is attracted to them. If one is not attracted, one is a racist. If one is attracted, one is a fetishist. It is simply a no win situation. There is a difference between masculinity and virility. As China, Japan and Thailand show, Asians have no problem reproducing. It is also worth noting that many Asian women and Straight as well as Gay men perceive Asian men as being more effeminate than men of other ethnic groups and not only in the Western world.
