Racial Castration: Managing Masculinity in Asian America Book

Screw this book! I mean it. Screw it. Only 227 pages of its 304 are actual text, the rest is notes and all. When I was almost almost halfway done and yet so far most of it was pointless psychological and techno babble. All the stuff it says about how Asian Americans are emasculated and denied a place in US history I knew already and this adds nothing new. Even the reasons for linking it to homosexuality are not stated even though that is what the author claimed.

Sure the author stated that this book mostly deals with Chinese American and Japanese American studies... well that is a bummer, but it served the reason well as to why I want to read this. And I was interested to read whether KPop had any influence here, considered the often androgynous looks that many have.
However this book only stopped to be dry after 15 pages. And I wondered how an analyses would be here, as the only overlap in the "feminized" professions would be restaurants, laundries and tailor's shops and are not associated with Asians in any way here except maybe imported from the USA, which is possible.
However, interest vanished quickly as this book was boring. I skipped all the parts about how photographs construct a reality instead of portraying one since I knew that already. The thing about that Japanese American believing he would not need glasses in Asia because there everything is constructed for "epicanthic eyes" was funny. The death of the Taiwanese sailor commiting suicide because he was supposed to be shipped to China was not. But afterwards it was basically blablablablabla photography techobabble blablablablablablabla some actual interesting stuff about stereotyping that is drowned out blablablablablablabla photography techobabble blablablabla photography technobabble.... And I didn't care, give me something that actual has to do with "racial castration.
Sure the book is fine when it gives you information about the social exclusion of Chinese and the stereotypes in both directions (e.g. portraying Chinese laborers as young gods or faeries or referring to whites as devils), but when it goes into technobabble and some other shit, the same shit over and over, it is plain annoying.
