A fellow blogger pointed out to me this (not-safe-for-work) picture on one of my favorite blogs today. It got me thinking about how many pictures I have run across of Asian guys boxing. This question will probably display my ignorance, but is boxing particularly popular in Asian countries? Because I probably have more pictures of Asian boxers than of Asian guys involved in any other sport. It certainly puts to shame the stereotype that all Asian men are weak and feminine.
How can you not enjoy a sport where athletic men compete shirtless, get all sweaty, and need long massages afterwards?...

It's very true. There are feminine and masculine men of every ethnicity. The more I consider this topic, the more I am convinced that you are correct, it is a subtle (or perhaps not-so-subtle) racism that has brought the idea of Asian femininity so firmly into popular mindsets.
