如何解释白色男性对亚洲女性的敌意？我们通过研究佐治亚州亚特兰大的谋杀案来解决这个问题，这反映了一个更大的全球暴力模式，针对被认为是性欲亢进的亚洲妇女。关于这些谋杀案的主流论述要么宣扬种族仇外心理，要么宣扬支持或反对性工作的立场。这两种论述都没有充分说明亚洲妇女的经历中同时存在的种族和性别决定因素。在这篇评论中，我们提供了一个种族性别分析，并强调如何性别种族化的亚洲妇女作为性欲亢进可能会导致他们的看法作为一次性的身体白色男性的愤怒。正如我们所解释的，过度性化意味着不道德，这反过来又威胁到社会秩序，从而证明亚洲妇女的处置。这篇评论确立了亚洲女性的过度性化是美国社会一个世纪以来的观点，在电影和法律中得以延续。
What explains white male animus against Asian women? We address this question by examining the murders in Atlanta, GA, which reflect a larger global pattern of violence against what are perceived as hypersexualized Asian women. Dominant discourses on these murders promote either a narrative of racial xenophobia or a stance for or against sex work. Neither discourse adequately accounts for the simultaneous racial and gendered determination of Asian women’s experiences. In this commentary, we provide a racial–gender analysis and underscore how the gendered racialization of Asian women as hypersexual can result in their perception as disposable bodies for white male rage. As we explain, hypersexualization implies immorality, which in turn threatens the social order and thereby justifies Asian women’s disposability. This commentary establishes Asian women’s hypersexualization as a century-old view in American society perpetuated in cinema and the law.
