With so much negative Asian-Black news these past couple of weeks,
here's something more positive although not at all politically related.Racialicious.com focuses a lot on biracial or interracial issues and this post about a movie with a Black-Asian romance caught my eye because when I was posting last week about black women/white men swirling, someone commented they would like to hear more about black women and Asian men. It's not a pairing you see often. I knew one friend that dated a Japanese (drop dead gorgeous) guy in college and there is one Chinese guy married to a sister at my brother's church in Madison, WI. Beautiful babies.
This is like the first thing since Romeo Must Die came out and they didn't even kiss in that movie. Lame. This movie stars a black actress I haven't heard of and the Japanese dude that is Hiro's best buddy on NBC's Heroes. Racialicious: Asian-black romance in Akira’s Hip Hop Shop.
Asian men as sex symbols is kind of a touchy subject, because they never really have been
especially
compared to the many Asian actresses considered sex symbols. Who are
the hot Asian actors out there? Of course Daniel Dae Kim on LOST is a
super hottie and if you count India, the Indian guy on Heroes is really
hot too. There is a Japanese guy that works in the lab on the original
CSI that is kind of sexy. Ken Wantanabe is very handsome for an older
actor. The Wong brothers look nothing alike but are attractive. Russell
isn't traditionally attractive, but something about him is sexy.
Michael is too. They are half Asian, but I haven't seen them in
anything for a while. Yul Brenner was the bomb in his day. Remember The
Ten Commandments?
