*genitalia mention*



Today I saw some article about this contestant on the Bachelorette who is Asian* and white and apparently he made this disgusting joke about how he’s not Asian down there. He was talking about the horrible racist stereotype about Asians having small dicks**. Anyways, the article is basically saying how he’s racist which yeah it is racist but more specifically it’s internalized racism. Also the fact that he decided to make a gross dick joke towards a woman is very wrong too. Yeah they went into why these jokes are harmful towards Asian men but they completely missed the boat on the misogyny and that it’s a bit more complicated than racism, especially since he’s a mixed person (which reminds me of some media reporting on white passing and/or mixed persons who committed violent crimes last year or so).



I don’t know if anyone else saw this article but IMO it was a bit simplistic. I can’t remember the source or I’d post it. Also I don’t want to say too much more on the subject since I’m not Asian. I just wish the media would understand things more before they decide to talk to a large audience about it. Then again, what do I expect for issues pertaining to mixed persons.
