Asians, Stereotyping African Americans Options

[Mini]

Do you guys think this is true on certain levels? Do believe that Asians, especially the older generations, tend to stereotype African Americans more often than other races?

I do. All my life, my parents always have this negative view towards the black community; I grew up with my parents telling me African Americans are this and they are that. My parents' actions scream out racism. In the car, whenever a black male dressed in casual, street clothes walks by, my dad would lock the car doors. He never does this when an asian man or white man walks along the streets next to the car. To him, all African Americans would try to: break in and steal the car; hold a gun to his head and demand his wallet and any other valuables; or even both. Also, I remember when I had this group of black friends in elementary school, my parents told me to stop talking to them because apparently they are dumb, stupid people who are dirty and unclean. I still don't know why they think that way. Perhaps because of the fact that, in the past, African Americans were slaves, many Asians look down upon them. Perhaps since black males overrepresent the perpetrators of violence and crime, many Asians believe that most if not all African Americans lie, steal, cheat, rape, or kill. I just don't understand why they judge a whole group of people based on the actions of the few.

Yes that is true. My grandfather is a traditional chinese man and he said he will disown me and my family if I ever go into a relationship with an African American. Same with my dad but my dad is only going to disown me.

Back then in the old days it was usally because of the skin color and the "pedigree" of a "breed".

Nowadays my elders don't like black people because they stereotyped them to be "gangsters" or "ghetto" or "violent" and all that stuff

I know some black people that aren't like that....

*edit*
as for the person above me...my elders don't watch TV that often so idk...i think they learn it from newspapers and stuff
