The Unverifieds (minus Liza, who was busy this weekend) discuss the gender issues that pop up when Asian American men are paired with white women on screen. First, they look at All My Life (starring Harry Shum Jr. and Jessica Rothe) before discussing The Big Sick. Then they turn their attention to the newfound issue of "fetishizing' Asian men and the resulting Asian American gender fights on Tik Tok.
