I'm trying to figure out where this stereotype comes from.
I think it comes from white women. I've had about a half dozen different women dismissively drop the "submissive" line when talking about Asian women. They must believe not having the "chip" is submissive. Their loss.

Often when white chicks play the "submissive" card to charge the white guy with SEXISM, they don't realize they're stooping to RACISM.
It's really very condescending, this notion that all asian women are somehow weak...

My theory, in reply to another commenter, is that white women don't find Oriental men attractive, so they figure white men can't possibly find Oriental women attractive, meaning it's got to be something else, i.e. their "submissiveness".
