I think it ties to racism. Black men historically have been depicted as “Brutish” and “aggressive” to paint this narrative that they are inferior (black women too but it’s more intensive for men), and has been the basis for law enforcement having more “excuses” to arrest black folks. Over time that’s somewhat evolved to a stereotype of hypermasculinity in black men that people think is present. And when people equate homosexuality with being more “effeminate” those stereotypes don’t mix.

It’s the opposite with East Asian men such as Chinese and Japanese folk. They are painted as more “effeminate” (though I don’t know the history of why), and thus it’s easier for people to stereotype them as queer.

Just a reminder to everyone that stereotypes do not equate to reality. I hope OP has a good day and that you can be free to be your best gay self.
