"There are also cases of people of color being desexualized in certain situations; certain ethnicities are regarded by white outsiders as less sexual or prudish (like, in some cases, East/Southeast Asian people, especially men, or people of Middle Eastern descent, especially

Women.) They’re sometimes invalidated and told they’re just repressing their instincts because their cultures have weird hangups about sex. Western society treats these groups as if they exist to perform certain functions for the majority rather than to have their own wants and

Needd, so their sexual agency is rarely respected."

"If an asexual person of color comes out, they are sometimes assumed to be playing into these tropes rather than expressing their intrinsic lack of desire or attraction, and they may be subjected to attitudes like “well of course you’re asexual, that’s how people like you are”

from the white majority and attitudes like “can you stop making us look like we’re all frigid?” from within their own community. These folks may feel that all these messages mean asexuality is for white people and they are betraying their culture by buying into it."

Literally, sometimes, I even question myself, and entertain the idea that maybe this is the reason why I'm not sexually attracted to ppl, and it is just a matter of shame and repression.
