Consider me slow and (obviously) blinkered but I had never even realized until recently when Asian Men began speaking out about it that Asian Men have had trouble in this country being seen as Sexual (and Sexualized) Beings - it never occurred to me because hot damn have you seen Takashi Kaneshiro? Tony Leung? What about Toshiro Mifune or Byung-hun Lee? Come on now, America. Don't be daft.
Anyway it strikes me now that recent scenes like this one on Alan Ball's new show Here and Now (anybody watching it?) with the Hot AF actor Raymond Lee are actually important milestones for us in that they're giving Asian-Americans a vital piece of representation that matters. And I, for one, am all for it. Hit the jump for more of Raymond showing us how it's done...
