Well, there are have been a lot of really stupid comments made here and I'm surprised people still believe in those stereotypes. Asian women born in Western cultures are no different than any other woman. Asian women born in Asian countries tend to be more traditional, but the same goes for any woman born in non-western cultures.
The gold digger myth comes from the fact that many old, unattractive western men go looking for younger, more attractive wives in impoverished areas of Asia. The same thing happens with white women from Russia and Eastern Europe who are targeted by Western men. Right or wrong, when you're poor and your whole family is poor, sometimes marriage is your best option for improving your life. The men who go seeking these situations are as much to blame for the results as anyone else.
Myself and all my asian friends tend to be intelligent, independent and self-reliant. We have dated both asian and white men because we're attracted to them and like them and not for any ulterior motive. In fact, in many cases, the girl makes more money than their bf or husband.
And any guy who thinks asians are more submissive obviously does not know many asian girls.
