Exactly. It drives me crazy that PoC are more often cast as villains and sexual predators (even Travis gets hit with the sexually predatory label), there's a history of the Latin Lover and the Black Buck, and yet when men of color are written this way, it's a coincidence.

Also, Pete doesn't get it and the man was with a 15 year old when he was in his twenties. Personally, though I think it's fairly obvious, I think it's because he's read as white by so many people and Asians don't have the same "animal sexuality" attached to them that Latinos and blacks do.
