Why is it rare to see asian men play Romantic in American Movies?

am i the only one that notices this?|||Have noticed that too and have noticed as well that there aren't many movies with interracial couples either. The majority has a white%26amp;white couple and some independent black productions will have a black%26amp; black couple.


So one factor why there aren't many Asians in romantic movies is that the mainstream movies are produced by whites for a white audience.


And another factor is that Asian guys are traditionally stereotyped as "being asexual" and feminine. (Just think of all the "small penis" jokes) One of my professors once mentioned that in the 19th century getting together with a white woman was forbidden for black men, but it wasn't forbidden for an Asian man. The reason behind it was not that Asian men were prefered, but quite the opposite: people thought that white women wouldn't even consider an Asian man as attractive, and thus the law that forbade Asian men to have any kind of romantic relationship with a white woman was only introduced after a white woman had an Asian boyfriend. I can't remember which state it was though.|||there are 2 main reasons:





1. Asian American parents discourage sons to become actors because they feel it is not a respectable and stable career. They want they best for their son so they send them to top universities, not liberal arts acting schools.





2. Hollywood is controlled by whites. Whites do not want to see Asians have leads unless it's horribly stereotypical (like a martial artist or gangster from Asia). Did you know there was a kissing scene in the movie "Romeo must die" between Jet Li and Aliyah but it was cut??|||Because they makeup only like 2 percent of America and are few in Hollywood. Go to Asian and you see plenty of romantic Asian movies. Whites controls Hollywood that's why you don't see Blacks, Hispanics or others having positive roles as Whites do. Even if Asians were to go to Hollywood they probably cast them as Martial artists or side roles.|||Yes because the U.S. media stereotypes them as being nerdy and smart instead of being hot, sexy, strong, masculine, romantic, etc.|||because white people don't want asian men look good in western media|||Hollywood movie producers are waging an aggressive campaign of exterminating Asian born males with their propaganda machines.|||Because they can't escape the reality of how Asian American men can be romantic.|||I love ur question! %26lt;3
