Asian Masculinity and Fighting Stereotypes with Ji Sub Jeong

made in

Why are Asian men stigmatized as undesirable as romantic partners? Growing up, that’s something that Korean-Canadian immigrant @geesubay faced. On top the racism undertones, the stigma of being “less masculine” is something that has permeated our society, while Asian women are constantly over-sexualized. One of the most vocal voices speaking up against this, along with fighting systemic racism and white supremacy is Ji Sub Jeong. He talks about his childhood, moving from Korea to Canada, being bullied in Vancouver for not being “white” or Korean enough, and eventually learning to love his Korean heritage. Moving to San Francisco to study art, working at Huffington Post as an illustrator, and now freelance — he’s turned his attention to using social media as a tool to bring awareness to the Asian male perspective.
