I was told back in college that Sessue Hayakawa was the first Asian male to appear as a sex symbol in Holywood for his role in "The Cheat," a 1915 silent film. I just watched "The Cheat" and holy fucking shit, it's racist. It might not appear that way explicitly, but if you read between the VERY well established lines, it's hard to miss the blatant racism, sexism, and dog whistling. I was told that "The Cheat" was supposed to be some landmark film that broke barriers and made Asians look good. Instead, it did the complete opposite. I was wrong all along. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/WokeFu/support
