Gay Asians?

Hey guys,

Hope you guys have been doing well

The topic of the attitude of the gay community towards gay asians and also attitudes of gay asians with gay asians is very interesting. - since i consider myself to be a gay asian

The reason i wanted to bring this topic up was because ocassionally i will go on manroulette or a site similar to that and meet other guys who like guys. As of right now, this is the only place i can go to meet people in the gay community. Other than that, i have read many blogs and watched documentaries where gay asians are in the "lower" hierarchy of the gay community. However, i have come to a conclusion in my mind that most people in the gay community have a stigma, or dislike towards asian guys.

Therefore, i really wanted to find out the reason behind this idea of gay asians on the lowest hierachy in the gay community. 

To my surprise, i found out that there are even terms that are attached to gay asians like "sticky rice" (a gay asian that likes other asian men) or "potatoe queens" (a gay asian guy that likes white men). I feel that these terms are demeaning and am disappointed that the gay community would create terms like this to ruin the image of the gay asian male. 

I understand that there is a fine line between preference and total exclusion. Sorry i can't think of the word right now, but what i am saying is that many people are entitled to their preference of who they would like to date or pursue a relationship with, and there are those who exclude an entire ethnicity and would not even associate or hang out with those people. 

I understand that i have not fully been able to understand about the gay community yet, but this is so far what i think of gay asians in the community.
