Asian women, for Black women, sit somewhere in the crawl space of their annoyance with the myths of their submissiveness. This is appealing to many Black men of courtship age. Submission is objectionable to Black women freed from bondage. Asian women much to the chagrin of Black women share an episode in their cultural contexts. They age slowly and gracefully. The doll-like quality of the stereotype wrestles against the tough grain of Black women's survival.
Innocence has to be recognized as innocence to ascend beyond being perceived. Beyond perceiving is protecting her. Without honor innocence loses value.
