The emasculation of the Asian bachelor society in America was created.  Evidently, the images of Asian men as unmanly, more feminine, and asexual spread thoughout.  Asian women took on the roles of the Lotus Blossom Baby-passive, subservient, exotic, and sexually availble and the Dragonlady-prostitutes, devious madames.  These images later became the stereotypical roles of Asian American gay men.
 
 

  "the asian man acts the role of the mythologized geisha or the good wife
as fantasized in the mail-order bride bussiness.  And in fact, the
houseboy is one of the most persistent white fantasies about Asian men."
--Richard Fung

"the white man has a choice to pick."
"you see it all the time: a young Asian man going around with old, old
white man."
"just the cutest things; small and dainty like China Dolls."

White men see these images and search for Asian males to fulfill their fantasies.

"GWM 30 seeks Asian guys 18-30. I am ll weigh 160# very smooth good body good looks"
"I am a +50 succcessful GWM, living in Asia, I will be travelling to Manilla 2nd week of December, would like to meet a Asian Man, 20 to 50 for drinks, dinner and ?"
"I'm a GWM, 43 y.o.a., 5'9" tall , medium built. I like to run, go to the gym, go to movies, dine out and get together with friends.  I am a lawyer by profession. Obviously,I find Asian men quite attractive and engaging."

These are just some personal ads that reflect the stereotypes that white males have of Asians.
