Also please do a google Sociology Professor Darrell Hamamoto from the University of California at Davis. He has research the racist paradigm that has enveloped much of the media. There is an article about him online which talks about his studies on this very issue. You will have to do research on your own instead of relying on me to give you links in this post. Anyways in the online article about him regading this issue, he talks about the racial biases in the pornographic industry and why such a racial bias is really an unnatural sociological dynamic that has been deceptively installed by the predominantly White Male owned entertainment industry. The author of the article also gives some suggestions on how to take progressive steps to fix the problem and therefore establish racial equality in the porn industry as well as in the general industry of media itself:
I just want to point out an excerpt from said paper: "Lei, who is part Thai and part Cambodian, has long brown hair that frames a wide smile and meshes seamlessly with her dark bronze complexion. Chun is a tall, strapping Korean-American who exudes a youthful charm on the screen. Lei said Chun was her first Asian male costar and she enjoyed the experience. ?I feel like when it?s Asian and Asian, it?s more comfortable,? Lei says. ?I don?t feel awkward when I kiss him.?
More statements in that academic article reads as follows: ]"Asian-American sexuality has been damaged by years of colonialism and racism that has turned Asian women into a sexual fetish and Asian men into eunuchs. Asian-Americans have internalized these attitudes, Hamamoto says, causing a rift between the genders and perpetuating the stereotypes."
More excerpts:
]?The whole sexuality part of our lives is warped and deformed from larger white racism,? he said. ?I want Asian-American people to look at it and examine it themselves, take matters in their own hands and come up with a solution.?
?I think there are two different things going on here: the image of Asian-American male sexuality and power. Who controls what is sexy in film, and basically what is sexy, is defined by white guys,? says Joyce Guan, who works at the Asian-American Telecommunications Association, and had just seen ?Masters of the Pillow,? a documentary about the making of Hamamoto?s porn video. ?Seeing an Asian-American male in a film or in roles where they are sexual is a good thing.?
But those roles in porn or mainstream entertainment are lacking, largely because film studios, movie producers and TV news directors assume that Asian-American men can?t hold an audience.
Much of what is produced in the mass media is created for the pleasure of white men, according to Elaine Kim, an Asian-American studies professor at the University of California at Berkeley. ?[White men] can have every woman of every race. For Asian men, they?re just not supposed to be men...?
Anyways, this is a long post, but it is an educational post nonetheless. I do not expect people to read this post with a playful heart. This is very serious stuff that needs to be addressed, researched, and dealt with. I have a lot of peers from all races. I hold no anger towards any race in particular. All I want is true equality in our world that is natural and free-flowing without manipulations and distortions -- and in order to take progressive steps towards such a goal, people must become aware of the detrimental subtleties being intentionally fed to human society so as to condition the masses into accepting a false social hierarchy of race superiority and inferiority. The research I provided is supported by a large amount of academic sources (and you will find more sources online and in various libraries in your community, schools, colleges, universities, etc. as well, if you all do the independent research on your own). My references are listed in the next post below. Thanks for your time.
