It is rare in most Asian countries. Unfortunately it was not "thought up" in the 1970s. It is a religious rite for Jews and Muslims and became popular in America during the 19th Century, when people thought it would keep boys from masturbating (it didn't!).
It is a brutal and barbaric practice and never caught on (except in Muslim and Jewish areas) outside the puritanical United States. So most Asian men are whole, not mutilated. Good for Asia! Muslim areas of Asia, such as Pakistan, however, do perform this disgusting rite.

Not anymore. Many Asians are now circumcise their babies so that they don't need to do it when they grow up.
