I have over the years received a few negative comments about having a Chinese wife. All were from progressive women who made statements like.

“You wanted an Asian wife because you are a chauvinist and Asian women are more submissive”

These hags obviously have no clue about Asian women if they think they are submissive.

So I am a bigot for having non-Caucasian wife.

LOL... Asian women are submissive? Maybe in some strange fantasy world, but not this one.

It turns out we have something in common, as my wife is from Fu Qing, China. Yes, many in the USA are unaware of the vast cultural differences not only between people from Japan, China, Korea, and other Asian countries, but also those which exist between people who come from the various regions in China. And it's a common misconception among those (unaware) folks to attribute submissiveness to ALL asian women, which might, to some degree, be true for many Japanese women, particulary those from earlier generations, but certainly not to all modern Japanese ladies, and definitely not to all asian ladies.

In fact, as you probably know, there are parts of China (including the city from which my wife hails) in which the culture might be better defined as a matriarchy than a patriarchy. I know my wife is a VERY strong-willed and independent woman, and in no sense of the word would I describe her has being submissive.
