This was inspired by reflections on a question posted elsewhere and this really seemed the most appropriate venue for it. Sorry.
Anyway, growing up, being into manga and anime and learning Japanese and also finding that several of the female math geeks happened to be Asian and later finding the exchange students to be a studious, focused crowd, I dated several Asian women when I was younger. I also occasionally heard suspicions from people (male and female) that this represented some sort of "submissiveness" thing. This couldn't have been further from the truth, e.g. I don't think someone who says "I like sexy, beautiful, obedient submissive woman. men are proud intelligent superior being" wants a woman who can correct him on his understanding of the Axiom of Reducibility in Set Theory. (Not saying "all Asians are good at math", just in this case.)
