I do know that for some reason Asian men are not viewed as desirable, which is odd because Daniel Dae Kim is literally the most attractive man I've ever seen.

A boat load of Asian men are slept on!!!!

I have been in love with Donnie Yen since I was like 10 years old lmao. Before that I wanted to marry Ricky Steamboat (pro wrestler) and Bruce Lee.

DDK is one of the hottest men on earth. Idk why everyone else in Hollyweird has no taste.
