In a world where only a few Asian men are considered extremely sexy (and the rest undesirable), Will Sharpe’s character in “The White Lotus” was quietly revolutionary.
And so, this message that there are very few sexy Asian men, with the rest being labeled undesirable, is damaging on several levels. However, Wu tells me that Asian men can become aware of this pervasive negative representation and work together with their community to demand better.
Will Sharpe attends the Season 2 premiere of “The White Lotus” at Goya Studios on Oct. 20, 2022, in Los Angeles, California. Sharpe’s character Ethan was equally captivating and sexually complex, creating a full spectrum of humanity that did not previously exist for Asian American men in TV and film.While Ethan is beautifully complex, there are whiffs of the same old Hollywood BS.
And in contrast to Glenn, Ethan seems more concerned with navigating the uncomfortable dynamics between himself and his best friend, Cameron, than keeping a partner. As a result, Ethan is given a chance to be a mediocre straight man who can’t satisfy his wife and cheats.
