Being married to a Filipina, I can attest to the value and worth of dainty little Asian fingers
I don't care HOW hard you work, how conscientious, how capable and any other adjective you want to put on it ... little tiny fingers have a purpose we just can't fulfill ... get over it.

I have small hands and play the piano. American teachers told me I could never do it professionally because of their size. Then I hooked up with Korean pianists and they scoffed and ridiculed that idea. “No, you can't play Rachmaninoff,” they shouted, “but you CAN play Mozart!”

My husband had an Asian doctor (Chinese, I think). When he was performing his prostate exam, he told my husband “be thankful I’m not American doctor - they have big hands”. ROFL

"dainty little Asian fingers"? Not all of them. :o)
Besides there are LOTS of small women in this world who are not Asian and being tiny does not always make dainty...though I'm sure your wife IS.

Small hands can be an advantage to men also. I have small hands (#7 wedding band). I do a lot of fine mechanical work like gunsmithing very well. I worked at a garage at one time and ended up doing a lot of work behind dash boards where some mechanics couldn't even fit their hands. The other guys called me monkey fingers, but always nicely because I saved them a lot of effort.
