hopefully this doesnt offend anyone ermm.gif

Alot of people I know associate asians with being super smart..or reallii good at math ..Do you know anyone who gets mad because of this stereotype or it just doesnt matter ?


Just in case..im not Asian im Dominican ( hispanic ) and this isnt the way i feel towards asians just a simple question.

i don't really mind; i mean, it can only work to my advantage. i don't think that it's the asian race that is intelligent.. it's just that most of the asians who had the ambition and money to immigrate to the United States were determined scholars. also, it might have something to do with the way asian kids are raised. they're taught to value knowledge, learning, and hard work.. for example, in china, scientists and college professors are very highly respected.
