TV's new class of "Sexy Asian hunks" are putting Asian male stereotypes to rest
-
"There is an undeniable new class of handsome Asian male actors dominating TV right now," says Greta Lee, pointing to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's Vincent Rodriguez III, The Good Place's Manny Jacinto and 13 Reason Why's Ross Butler. "These guys are putting to bed the absurd question Can Asian dudes be sexy? (An axiom that reminds me of a different one from not so long ago: Can women be funny? The simple answer to both being obviously, yes. You idiot.)," she says.
