Episode 3: What do Asian men think about "yellow fever"?

If the predominant Asian fetish is of men (of all ethnicities) toward Asian women, where does that leave Asian and Asian American men? While stereotypes of Asian women make them desirable (submissive, catering, attentive, empathetic) Asian men have been historically seen as invisible, or worse. Men and women speak candidly about Asian male stereotypes, such as: "when an Asian women has chinky eyes, they're exotic, but when an Asian man has chinky eyes, it's just chinky." A white female storeowner comes right out and says that Asian men "seem serious, studious" and "up-tight." Spoken word artist Bao Phi and diverse Asian American men offer counterpoints to the misperceptions, and reflect on how "yellow fever" impacts Asian male identity. Often poking fun, these men also comment on stereotypes about Asian women with an "insider's" perspective. "In my experience, Asian women are belligerent, demanding and controlling... and I support that," states one mid-aged Asian American man. A young Asian American man also notes that Asian American women out-marry more than any other ethnicity in America. So why is that?
