Zoey and Demetri from FlashForward

Neutral Observer asked me to comment on Gabrielle Union and John Cho’s onscreen romance on FlashForward.  He writes:

Asian male bloggers have long compared their dating plight to that of black women, and have long said that maybe they need to expand their dating pool outside the asian female sphere.
Seems, at least on TV, we’re getting a dramatization of this “solution.”
Combine that with how this is a pushing back against the media’s systematic “de-sexualization” of the asian man’s image, and I’m doubly curious to get your thoughts on this.
