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. |

Not all Asians fear Black people!
From my experience, it's mainly the Chinese that fear Black people. The Japanese, Filipino, and Korean all seem to be cool with the Black brothas. Word! |

Japanese people love stereotyping blacks and they force all the blacks into Roppongi. And if you've ever watched anime, all the black characters have huge lips, afros, or have huge lips and afros. And here is a video of Koreans being cool with black looters in 1992. I don't know about China. But in the Philippines, people use the word n*gger without fear at all. |
