I wrote about Oriental men having a reputation of
being not aggressive enough (and not having big
enough genitals) for white women. The reverse
holds with Oriental women, who are highly
esteemed amongst white men for being (reputedly)
meek and docile. They are supposed not to be
dragons.

"Italian TV: Asian Brides Want Your Man".
"It seems Italian men imagine wives from ‘the East’
are more docile and forgiving than Italian women,
many of whom just won’t put up with the old ways."
<<ROME—Progress comes in all shapes and sizes.
But it seems that can’t be said for the ideal Italian
wife-to-be. At least, not according to a television
show on Italy’s public broadcaster RAI precipitously
canceled Monday after it opined throughout an
excruciating broadcast that the Italian ideal is a
woman from “the East,” apparently defined (or more
likely imagined) as a cross between geisha and a
housekeeper.>>
So, Italian women are supposed to be less pushy
than their Merkin counterparts, but the slack is
being picked up. Is anything sacred any more?
