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.

I don't blame my parents for being stereotypical about A.A. since people around them contribute to the stereotype. The only reason my parents think A.A. are bad because the majority of A.A. they've met in their life JUST SO HAPPENS to: 1)cuss (I've personally met a 6 yr old boy AND girl cuss fluently) 2)unfriendly; give weird looks at us (it happens everytime we unload our car) 3)mannerless (the people across our street just walked freely into our backyard to get their football...what happened to PRIVACY?!! and they crank up their music sooo loud)

this doesn't make them all bad, cause my parent have met some nice A.A. but my point: they can't help that they are stereotyping if that's how they see the majority of A.A acting as.
