The white women treat their men better myth

Sadly, I watch way too much TV.  I was watching an episode of the  dramady "The Game" on BET.  I love each character on the show.  They all seem like many of the shallow individuals I grew up with in Los Angeles.  So, in this episode Tasha Mack/Single MAMA/Momager to star QB Malik Wright/ lonely woman turns to Kelley her assistant/ stereotypical athlete's wife/white girl married to black man/ docile wife that gives in to everything.  Anyway, the conversation begins when tasha is confronted with dealing with her demons of being the finger snapping, trash talking in your face, chip on her shoulder black woman that many americans tend to label all black women.  Tasha goes to Kelley and asks her how she does it.  How does she tolerate Jason's bull****?  How does she make her man feel more important than he is.  I thought about that for a moment.  Is that true, are white women really these marriage or relationship miracle workers that somehow learn to manage their men into believing they are a top priority?  Is that also true for asian women? What about African women who are supposed to be submissive to their husbands, and let's not forget middle eastern women.  What about them?  Do women of these varying backgrounds truly buy into this crap about putting their marriage, or husbands first?  Do you fall into that white woman myth?
