(Question 1)
Asian men that live in the United States have been excluded from the more “masculine” jobs that are available. He also comes across stating that they do not get leadership roles within their community or even within their family. I thought it was also interesting that he said that Asian men desire white women but that they do not have a desire for them, but, the white man has a strong desire for Asian women. Gay Asian men that are in gay communities may have very low self-esteem because they may not feel that they have the same physical beauty as a white gay man. They also have a fear of rejection from their families. These men are doubly marginalized because they are considered gay and feminine; they have a desire for white men verses other Asian gay men. They have tried to change their appearance and their nationality by coloring their hair and eye color, which is what some women do to be accepted. They are also marginalized by the dominant society, which I see as being America, and also by their own Asian communities. There is not much info in literature about Asian gay men, the only things that Han says is published is by the Asian gay men themselves.
