Thank you for writing this! I almost cried at the line “I’m sorry it took me so long to see you.” Beautiful reflection. 💖
It was helpful to my understanding to have you compare being an Asian actor to being a “bridesmaid” who must never outshine the white actors. 🤯 This needs to change immediately!
I tend to find Asian men more attractive than average. So personally I think the prejudice against them is insane! But like you said, you can observe preferences or tendencies that you display over time without ruling out a certain category (or overly fetishizing a category, for that matter).
Asian men and Asian people rock.
