nerd - asexual geek (charlie chan, asian dude off of law and order)
karate man - asexual martial arts hero (jackie chan)

An example of a dragon lady would be like any role that Lucy Liu has ever played. Like in Charlie's Angels, she's a vixen but she dates a white guy and doesn't give the Asian guy a second glance.
