But Where Are You Really From?: An Asian-American Struggle
95. What the Heck is A Himbo?
02 Sep 2022
What the heck is a "himbo?!" We're discussing the rise of the Asian himbo (male bimbo) as an evolution from the traditional portrayal of Asian men in western media. How did we go from sexless and nerdy characters like Long Duk Dong ("Sixteen Candles") to ultra hot but super dumb characters like Jason Mendoza ("The Good Place")? How do we feel about this change and where do we hope representation will go from here? Tell us who your favorite Asian himbo is in our Instagram or Tik Tok comments!
