Well I'm not saying all Oriental women are conservative and all American women are liberal, it's a matter of choice though I am going to talk about what's being stereotyped or generalized. Here are a few examples:
1.) Oriental women tend to be more conservative than Caucasian women. However do note that there are Caucasian women who are more conservative than Oriental women too. As said, it can be a matter of choice whether or not you want to try one relationship after the other.
2.) Relationships. Somehow it's very sad that it seems that Caucasian women can easily change boyfriends after a break up and end up in a series of bad relationships than most Oriental women. Then again, the reverse can be very true like I know some Oriental women who can be too easygoing with relationships. I've met some Oriental women who are too easy to shift so again, it's a choice not a matter of race that affects stuff.
3.) Raising children. I dunno but today, Oriental moms can be more open compared to the past when they out of frustration and pressure of in-laws tiger mom their children and in the future, become the nagging mother-in-law to throw their frustrations out especially the Chinese mother-in-law is stereotypically abusive. For white females, they can be more caring and open-minded plus there are less monster-in-laws among them. Tiger moms were stereotypically real among Chinese women yesterday compared to today due to the balancing of East and West.
4.) Sense of submissiveness. I could be wrong but it seems to be that even today, Orientals can be more submissive than white women except that, they already know their rights and how to fight against abusive husbands which is good. For example, Oriental woman may become more obedient but beat them up and they'll get their lawyer since they are now given protection unlike before in the earlier eras (ex. 17th century). For the area of Caucasians, I think they tend to be less submissive and more rebellious then again it's a matter of choice, not race. Submissiveness is an important value but please don't take abuse and not do a thing about it.
5.) Spending habits. There can be a huge change of spending habits too like Orientals can be more budget conscious than Caucasians. Then again, there are some Orientals who are very spendthrift while some Caucasians who save for a rainy day. It's pretty much a matter of choice of values.
Overall, I just had a thought that it's very important to balance stuff every now and then regardless of race and I believe that a mixed marriage can work with that kind of mentality. People need to be submissive but they also need to oppose against abuse. People need freedom but they also need restrictions. People need to be open-minded but sometimes they need to be close-minded. It's the balance of yin and yang. I wouldn't be close minded to intermarriages, some Asian male/white female relationships work fine like Wakin Chau and his wife Constance Woods-Chau with their two children.
