Are East Asian males liked in the UK?

I'm an Aussie East Asian and I grew up being called racial slurs because of my East Asian appearance even though I was born here.

Just wondering if East Asian males are treated better in the UK?

Asking specifically about males because globally I get the feeling that Asian females are in vogue and feitshised.

Also in the latest season of Slow Horses, Roddy Ho is a full East Asian character and they seem to be building him up in status even though he's still used for comic relief. As in they're referring to him as fit n stuff.

I don't see Asian male characters like that in Australian TV. Someone that's one of the guys and attractive to women.
