ASIAN STEREOTYPES!, i need help. Options

[CO0KiE]

So in my Psychology class I'm doing a project on Asian Stereotypes.
Where did these stereotypes begin?
Like:
1 Where did the sterotype of Asians being horrible drivers come from?
2 Where did the whole "Asians are excellent in math" come from?
3 All asians are smart?
etc etc etc.

& how could I, if it were possible, go back into the past & change these?
Help me out please?

Im pretty sure this isn't the answer you're looking for, but I'll say it anyway. Most stereotypes, if not all of them, come from ignorance. Many people develop prejudices based on 1 encounter with a person or group of people, and claim whatever conflict that happens to be caused by every single person represented by that 1 person. Im not sure how long its been going on, probably since ancient times. But I think that if everyone gained some type of knowledge about asians and the many different countries that are in Asia like Japan, China, Russia, and even Iraq, there would be a fair less amount of stereotypes.

Some stereotypes I think are true. Why you think Usain Bolt is the fastest man we've seen on a track field?
