Why I hate bromance as an Asian American
Bromance seems stitched into American culture- men are good friends and in a society where men should not express emotion, there is compassion and good friendship qualities. Even beyond that, men who are acquaintances with others can also be labelled as having a bromance.
Here’s my problem as an Asian American male: bromance for males is usually camaraderie, but with Asian American males, it is used as a method to prevent genuine interest in either sex. Females use bromance as a shield against the unwanted Asian male. It’s okay if you aren’t interested in me, and I sure as fuck ain’t interested in your shallow ass (ass=person, not real butt). Stop reminding me of racialized and intersectional forms of being wanted or not.
