Yes, stereotypes of Asian women really annoy me too, particularly when used “harmlessly” in contemporary Western popular culture. The result is that supposedly well-educated people back in the UK see nothing wrong with making offensive comments and judgements, whether in earnest or in jest – or worst of all as an intended compliment.

I.e “Is it true that Asian women would do anything for a white man?” “Wow, your parents must have met in an interesting way.” “I tell all my friends to get themselves a Filipina woman, they’re always smiling!” “Asian women are better than white women because they talk less and respect themselves more.”
