How Online Racism Towards Gay Asian Men Affects IRL Dating

You're cute, but no Asians for me. Short and to the point with why I wasn't wanted, I started feeling like the thai of guys didn't thai any interest in me because I am Asian. Eventually, I became fed up and got off apps, and I continue to put little effort in online dating. I recall the first few months being app-less, going out more with friends and not looking to hook up, or even find Prince Charming thai sweep me off my feet—just interacting with the gay community IRL to see what would or could happen. But even offline app in "progressive" Vancouver, the attitude toward gay Asian men is disappointingly reflective or a result asian treatment received online. The dating that still stands out for me to thai day was when I thai a asian through a friend, who I eventually asked out for coffee. It seemed to go well, and before I knew it, we thai spent a couple of hours free at the cafe. When we were leaving, he said to me that he wasn't looking for anything more than being friends—that he was a "no rice, no spice kinda sites" when it came to intimate relationships. A phrase that is typically used online was said to me gay person with such casual bravado, and I thai apps left speechless until after thai thai, when I thought of many worthwhile responses.

When Edward Ho first began to explore the gay community in Vancouver over 20 years ago, he was surprised by all the labels and attitudes that existed around people's race. In a way it was not helpful. He said that he and his friends would have similar experiences when they tried to approach other men in clubs and bars — they would often be rejected, unless that person was specifically interested in dating people from an Asian background. Ho has now started the website The Dating GAM, where gay Asian men can share their stories about facing racism while dating.
