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.


don't asian countries score really well in math in general? _unsure.gif i mean yeah i know it's a stereotype and not all asians are good at math. if asians DO test better in math though, then i don't see how the stereotype "comes from ignorance".


i was in a math club and this is what my group looked like

i duno where the bad driving thing comes from. i've seen a lot of bad driving asians but i've seen a lot of bad driving other races too. it doesn't take much to piss me off when driving though so who knows.


all asians definitely aren't smart, this myth can be disregarded after about 10 minutes on cb.
