block pos t#5Blog post # 5 All Men Are Not Created Equal: Asian Men in U.S. History.
In his reading All men are not created equal Espiritu talks about the interment camps in which were put the Asians during world war II. He talks about how the Asians men were obligated to do women labor in the u.s. Navy,such as cooking,cleaning and doing the laundry for the officials.But we can not compare the Asians situation to the slavery condition in which the African American were into, because they were more subordinated and humiliate and in other hand the Asian were more free,their family never were broke apart like the African Americans.Asians were never treated like beast,torture or castrate, in other words their lives were much more easy and both situation are incomparable.In black men this event caused black men to be slightly affective,they don't like to show their feelings to the fullest and in the other side the effect in Asian masculinity is that even today Asians men are looked at for being involve in women labors and there are many stereotypes towards them and most of them are suppose to be develop by women.

This is a good start to a contrast between the experience and effect of slavery and interment camps on Black and Asian masculinity, respectively. You make a good point regrading the severity of slavery, which is not the same as the poor treatment of Asian men, which equate them with women. Please remember that you must place title of articles in quotation marks.
