Any depictions of gay Asian men, particularly in gay pornography, are, according to Fung, demeaning and\u00a0 racist. In this video, I compiled videos having to do with ideas by the media and public about the sexuality of Asian men, along with a speech at the end about how the intersectionality of being gay and Asian brings upon its own struggles in society. I connected this with a quote from a scholarly article, &#8220;Supplementing normalcy and otherness: Queer Asian American men reflect on stereotypes, identity, and oppression,&#8221; by Kevin K. Kumashiro.<\/p>\n<p>Questions:<\/p>\n<p>What are some of the differences between how Asian women and Asian men are stereotypically viewed sexually by the media?
