3. Stereotypes are true are they?

So the stereotype of the opium addicted, lazy Chinese man is true? What about Japanese killing machines with swords? Go voice your thoughtless preconceptions elsewhere.

The stereotype of the "submissive Asian woman" comes about because submission was, and is, enforced. Historically many Chinese women found it pretty difficult to be anything except submissive whilst in agony with their feet deformed by bindings. Women in Asia were oppressed, tortured and killed to enforce their submission just as women in Europe were held down.
