Intersection of Gender and Race: Asian American Women who prefer White Men
<p>Pyke’s study focused on 128, “unmarried, heterosexual second-generation Korean and Vietnamese American women.” (Ferguson, p. 306) Pyke raises two questions in regards to resistance and complicity. Are Asian American women who prefer white men in “compliance with white (male) superiority and the reproduction of a hierarchy of racialized masculinities?” or are they resisting the gender oppression happening within their own culture. Or are both at play? (Ferguson, p. 306)</p>
<p>Previously, feminist research on global cross-racial romance has focused on “the motivations of men and the stereotypes shaping their desires while ignoring the women’s subjective experiences and racialized desires, treating them simply as passive victims.” (Ferguson, p. 307)</p>
