Commenting to say that in USia at least, there's a strange connection between orientalism, gender, and anti-blackness. Basically, in the US, asian-ness is inherently feminine, and blackness is inherently masculine.
Look at how this manifests in gendered racism towards the two broad groups:
Asian men are culturally emasculated and considered effeminate and weak (bluntly, they are also assumed to have small dicks), while black men are hyper-masculinized and treated as dangerous savages (who are culturally assumed to have big dicks universally).
Asian women are hyper-feminized (read this mostly as "submissive") and exoticized, treated as uniquely desirable for that "fact", while black women are comparatively masculinized, sometimes derided as "mannish" and unruly and culturally considered uniquely less desireable for that "fact".
