Sexual racism is the sexual rejection of a minority, the conscious attempt on the part of the majority to prevent interracial cohabitation.[citation needed]
Homosexual community[edit]
Asian men are often represented in media, both mainstream and LGBT, as being feminized and desexualized.[1] LGBT Asian men often report "sexual racism" from white LGBT men. The gay Asian-Canadian author Richard Fung has written that while black men are portrayed as hypersexualized, gay Asian men are portrayed as being undersexed.[2] Fung also wrote about feminizing depictions of Asian men in gay pornography, which often focuses on gay Asian men's submission to the pleasure of white men. According to Fung, gay Asian men tend to ignore or display displeasure with races such as Arabs, blacks, and other Asians but seemingly give sexual acceptance and approval to gay white men. White gay men are more frequently than other racial groups state "No Asians" when seeking partners. In inter-racial gay male pornography, Asian men are usually portrayed as submissive "bottoms."[3]
Heterosexual community[edit]
Sexual racism also exists in the heterosexual community and online dating.[4][5][6][7][8]
