Sometimes I wish I were a white male so I don't have constantly face the prevailing racism (people pulling eyes back yelling "ching chong", or saying I have a small penis). What's worse is that I even have a bleaker future in the dating world, where we are considered unattractive due to vicious stereotypes.
" I feel cheated out of a myriad of romantic experiences that could have been brought to fruition were I not an Asian male. Being an Asian male is like answering the first five questions on the GRE incorrectly; you're not totally screwed, but you have a lot of ground to make up.
The reason behind this is that historically Asians have been invisible in American media, with a few stereotypical exceptions. As a whole, Asian males have either been portrayed as overbearing, or more frequently the opposite: effeminate and obsequious to white (and therefore better) men. Asian females, on the other hand, have been depicted as servile and ready to please."
