Why are asian men popular on the internet but not in Hollywood?
What makes no sense to me is how asian men get hundreds of millions of views on youtube and are wildly popular in subjects like comedy, singing, philosophy, etc, yet they are almost nonexistent in the mainstream media and are only represented as abnormal, homosexual, foreign caricatures. Not to mention almost EVERY asian woman represented in the mainstream media is almost NEVER with an asian man, romantically or even platonically, despite the how starkly different reality is. I am a huge skeptic and would like to think this discrepancy is just a coincidence, but sometimes I think this falls into conspiracy territory and that whoever controls this country, especially the media, really has it out to really do harm to asian men. How could there be some evil concerted effort to purposely squash an entire people out of existence? Is this just all in my head? Because as an asian man, when I go out to the movies and watch TV, I am left feeling worthless, invisible, and humiliated, but yet when I'm on the internet, I am left feeling empowered, capable, and belonging to a greater society. Thoughts?
