hopefully this doesnt offend anyone
 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. |

the reason why we call it sterotypical is based on the fact, people get mad then that's their problem, the description doesn't have any offending meaning in it, i won't care if people call me stereotypical, i would even take it as a compliment

Or did you mean that you would take it as a compliment if people STEREOTYPED you? I agree with Mindy... It also works to my advantage, at times. Teachers don't pick on me as much because they think by the fact that I do the work that I don't need to prove anything to them. I'm not smart--I just do the work lol. I am flattered that people would think that Asians are more intelligent... Although I agree with Mindy about the fact that Asian immigrants came here, determined to achieve their goals and have a good education. Also, I've heard that back in Asia, school and education is a lot tougher than here. It just really depends, that's all. |
