3. It's-- I don't know what it is

I guess given that Asian women come from cultures so diverse one can only call it racism. I work with Korean women who were adopted and raisd in America, but its their appearance they're judged by. I know Japenese women who in no way fit the stereotype that's usually presented (basically the American version of a Geisha) I know Chinese women who are polar opposite of the stereotypes. The same with Fillipina's

If these men are looking for some kind of cultural subservience, they forget they are not part of the culture, usually don't know the culture they don't give where expected only take.

In America its a flat out combo of sexism and racism
