Seriously, “Gerbil Derby”?
I know this is a little dated, but this guy has fascinated me for a long time: Professor Darrell Hamamoto of the Asian-American Studies Department at University of California - Davis
Hamamoto hit the alternative press back in 2003 when he announced he was looking for a studly Asian-American man to star in a pornographic movie. See, Professor Hamamoto is disturbed by the fact that there are many, many famous Asian-American FEMALE porn stars, but virtually no MALES (well, in straight porn anyway).
This he attributes to the classic case of the Orientalist notions of the Western Anglo-Saxon hegemony. See, we white men are a savage bunch of colonial imperialists who fantasize about capturing the alluringly child-like and servile Asian woman. The Asian male, however, is at best seen by us as a effeminate and servile, genderless and non-threatening being and at worst: a homosexual. Thus, pornographic movies, the visual result of the white man’s fantasy, will depict the raping of beautiful Asian women by hairy, lumbering Euro-Beasts.

This is entirely wrong. This whole idea proves that legitimate research is no longer performed in the academy. It’s all just pointless navel gazing.
If this re-re had just spent 30 minutes surfing the internet, he would have learned that the white man’s fantasy is seeing beautiful Asian women being gang-banged by a half-dozen African-American men.
What Professor Hamamoto fails to grasp is the REAL depth of the white man’s twisted psyche.
