Yes, there was Bruce Lee, who played strong, fierce characters, but he was the exception to the rule, highlighting just how few Asian male characters were in films and TV shows at all, and how those few roles were mostly for weak or comical characters. And So points out that Lee was rarely seen in romantic or sexual situations.
Because of these stereotypes perpetuated by the media, many of her Asian American male students have poor self-esteem, So says. I entered high school without having had my first kiss, shy and insecure, trying to subdue my Asianness as much as I could. One way I did that was by only trying to date white girls. If I could date a white girl, I thought, I would be normal and accepted.
In my freshman year of high school, I had my first kiss with a white girl, of course. And as I moved up the grades I casually dated white girls and eventually got my first serious girlfriend, who was white, near the beginning of my senior year. I had mixed feelings about that. Being told I was hot was an enormous relief after years of thinking I was unattractive.
I started to believe that despite my Asianness, or maybe because I was only half-Asian, there were white girls out there who found me attractive. But at the same time, it still felt like being Asian was something I had to fight and overcome to get girls to like me. It still meant that I would have been regarded as better if I was white. Having grown up with so many movies and TV shows that presented white women as the pinnacle of beauty, of white society as the norm and the top of the racial hierarchy, I thought that dating white girls would mean that I was successful, that I had made it to the top of the hierarchy, too.
After so many years ignoring or even actively suppressing my Asian identity, I felt guilty and wanted to reconnect with my Japanese roots and talk to my Japanese extended family members, none of whom speak English. Though UO is in Eugene, it has a slightly higher Asian population 6. All my half Asian friends have military dads. Korea, Japan, Philippines. These things are still going on.

The prosecutor's questions targeted Rittenhouse's decision to remain silent after the deadly shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Veterans Day is on Thursday. We use the median the number that the man or woman at the 50 th percentile had rather than the mean the average because the median is less influenced by the few students who reported extremely high numbers of hookups.
Among men, Asians have the lowest number of hookups, with a median of one hook up, Latinx men are next with a little above two, and Whites and Blacks are the highest with almost identical medians at approximately three hookups.
Among women, we Black and East or South Asian women have hooked up little, Latinx women are in the middle, White women have hooked up the most. Of course, knowing the rate at which students are hooking up does not tell us how much they have casual intercourse, because not all hookups involve intercourse.
To get at whether students had had casual intercourse, the survey asked if they had ever had sex outside of an exclusive relationship. As the next graph shows, Asians are the least likely to have had sex outside an exclusive relationship. Black, White, and Latinx students have had more casual intercourse, and within-sex, race differences are fairly small in these three groups.
In every group other than East Asians, men are more likely to report sex outside a relationship than women. Another behavioral indicator is the number of partners with whom one has ever had intercourse. In this analysis, virgins count as having zero partners, and we limited the count to the number of partners of the other sex, ignoring any same-sex partners. We examine medians rather than averages because there are some extreme outliers with many partners, which affect means more than medians.
The graph below shows that among both women and men, Asians have had the least number of partners. Among women, there is little difference between Whites, Blacks, and Latinas, all of whom have had between 1. Among men, however, Blacks have substantially more than other men, with a median slightly more than 4, compared to between 2 and 2.
We have shown that racial groups are virtually identical on whether and when they want to marry and have children. However, there are some group differences in attitudes about students having sex, and in their sexual behavior. Where we see differences, Asians, especially South Asians, appear the most conservative in attitudes and behavior, Latinx students are in the middle, and either Whites or Blacks are generally the most permissive, depending on the issue.
We speculate that the relatively conservative attitudes and less active sexual behavior of Asians result from the influence of their immigrant parents from Asia. See the technical appendix for more details on this. As for differences between Blacks and other racial groups, the patterns differ strongly by gender. As many race and gender scholars have argued, an intersectional approach is often needed when the way race affects men and women is very different.
Let us start with men. Black men have had more sexual partners than White or other men. What explains this? Prior research has shown that youth of any race who grow up in poverty or with less educated parents are more likely to have first intercourse earlier and Blacks are especially likely to grow up disadvantaged.
Consistent with this, past research on the age of sexual debut among US adolescents , has shown that Black youth have an earlier age at first intercourse than Whites, which is likely to lead to more sexual experience by the age of most of the college respondents. The survey question asks about number of partners ever, not only during college, so having started during or before high school could lead to a higher lifetime number. To test how much of this is explained by Black men having had an earlier age at first intercourse, we re-estimated the regression analysis controlling for this factor and created adjusted medians assigning the age at first intercourse for the sample as a whole to all races of men.
The new adjusted median number of partners is only. Thus, the White-Black differences among men may reflect less about different behavior at college and more about the early effects of disadvantage leading to early first sex. However, if the explanation we offered for Black men were just about socioeconomic disadvantage, we would expect to find it applicable to Black women too. Instead, we found that Black women students are significantly more likely to be virgins than White women, they have had about the same number of intercourse partners as White women, and they have had substantially fewer hookups than either White women or Latinas.
Moreover, they are more likely to think premarital sex is wrong than any race-gender group other than South Asian women. Why are Black women more conservative than other racial groups on many indicators, while Black men are more liberal? We suggest two possible explanations. A second possible explanation for the fact that Black women are more likely to be virgins and have fewer hookups is that Black women may be less sought after as partners than women of other races, a race-gender-specific bias in the erotic hierarchy.
The OCSLS surveyed over 20, students from 21 four-year colleges and universities between and The colleges and universities where the survey was administered were both private and public. A limitation of the OCSLS survey is that participants surveyed did not come from a probability sample. Thus, any non-representativeness of the sample is likely caused by the schools chosen and the kinds of students in the hosting courses, not who decided to participate within classes. Students in other groups, such as Native American, were not used because other groups were too small for reliable analyses.
