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, because all asian parents i've seen have had something against them. im not even sure why, its not like they've had experiences with them. they're always talking about how they act, dress, and how they didnt have jobs, but those were only the ones from one area where we lived before. where we live now, you cant live here unless you have a job because it would be too expensive living off only the goverment's money. it's really annoying because i dont really care about their opinions about other people, i'd rather form my opinions based on what i've experienced instead of what they have, and what they've heard.

plus, asians tend to believe every gossipy thing they here.
