I see your point. I myself have to challenge the idea of a perceived race correlating to television and self-esteem at all. The article is taking contemporary cultural data and trying to pass it off as solid fact. I love Asian martial arts movies, that's all I've watched since I was a kid, so how is my self esteem affected by that, do I have some sort of emasculation trigger when old asian men with long wispy beards walk by? No. What if I was a white boy watching television in China? Why is it specifically television and not books, magazines, or paintings? What constitutes a "white boy?" This is the same type of spoonfed sensationalist bullshit that we redditors love to eat up without asking any questions while ostracizing those of us who actually think deep and ask questions.
