how do you like oriental women?
I wonder how many of you guys have watched this movie Mr. Butterfly starred by Jone Lone and Jeremy Irons,which I've just finished watching.In fact, we are required by our English teacher to watch it before we answer the question she left us--what's oriental women like in the westerners' mind? It seems the roles oriental women play in those movies are either cruel killers or obedient and erotic...so I really wanna know what's your imagination or impression about oriental women?

That is a very odd assignment which would seem to bring about many bad stereotypes...
I've never seen Mr. Butterfly before but I can tell you what I think about your question.
I think that a lot of people are attracted (not necessarily in a sexual way) to other people that are foreign. A person becomes very familiarized with their surroundings and state so anything outside that would be highly interesting for the most part.
Another underlying factor is probably how the media represents certain cultures. Some media creates a facade that makes oriental woman seem like the most beautiful beings on earth. In reality, though, there are beautiful people and unsightly people in all cultures, according to the average mind. One thing that needs to be brought to attention is the fact that the media represents some of the most beautiful people of all cultures. Usually, the foreign faces of celebrities are the closest things to foreign culture the average person can get. Celebrities usually accentuate their culture's beauty and bring forth with that a stereotype that all people in their country have beauty like them. You never know what a person may gravitate towards with regards to either their own personal preferences or what they've been influenced by (like the media).
The question at hand, "Do you like oriental woman?" isn't really a well thought out question. Personally, I would not answer this because it is too vague. Let's ask this instead: "Do I like the physical attributes of a beautiful oriental woman?". The word "Beautiful" is very subjective. What I find ugly, you might find beautiful and vice versa. With beauty being defined by my preferences alone, I would say, "Yes" to this question. There are many beautiful physical attributes in any ethnicity, in my opinion.

(⊙o⊙)…Eh...I didn't know that...I thought "oriental" just referred to a biogeographic region...because that's what we learned in the English Literature class...But now I know, and I won't make this mistake again.
