AND FINALLY

Here is Asian Rake's latest input on the issue: http://www.ampedasia.com/article/Asian-R...-Rochelle/

[Dr. Asian Rake]

An addendum.

[Addendum: A few of my statements about Asian-American men may come off too strong, but that's not my intention. For example, I wrote, "Where are the Asian male sex symbols? Not in America or Canada." The context of that statement should make it clear what I mean by "sex symbol."

I did not mean by this that no Asian males in America or Canada are sexy. Far from it. That's one of my main points: There are plenty of Asian males all over the world who are representing the race well, and there are even more who have the potential to do so. But because of various sociological, economic, cultural, and even political reasons, they are not seen as "sex symbols" in Western societies. I surely hope that I have not discouraged those Asian-American males who are doing well with women; I am personal friends with quite a number of them.

What concerns me here is the perception of Asian men by some parts of Western societies and some Asian-American women and how this can affect the self-image of Asian men anywhere. A "thank you" to blog reader, Ed, for pointing this out.]
