Steve Harvey is one of these people. Steve goes to the gym; Joe buys every piece of Supreme clothing he can afford; and I’ve got jokes. I told myself that it was all a lie, but the structural emasculation of Asian men in all forms of media became a self-fulfilling prophecy that produced an actual abhorrence to Asian men in the real world. That’s why this Steve Harvey episode is so upsetting. For his own personal profit, he’s willing to perpetuate the emasculation of Asian men regardless of how hypocritical it is.
