things like duck, chicken feet and shark fin.
Asians must get A+
grades because A = average, B = bad, C = crap, D = Disowned, F= Forget it

brainiacs
Everyday conversation includes "Have you studied yet?" and
"Why do you have an A-?"
All Asians know how to
play the piano or violin
Asians enjoy Kpop and
Jpop even when they don't understand the language
Asian parents think their kids shouldn't date until university and
even then, is still too young
Asian parents love to
compare their children against other children

drivers

weapon
Stereotyping is something that plagues all mankind. Asians are just another victim in the web of stereotypes, some stereotypes are positive while others are negative, but no one should have to live up to something that is not naturally them. The reason human beings stereotype is very simple, humans love to categorize everything making it easier to evaluate. But the flaw in this is that not everyone is the same and if you go your life thinking that you'll find a lot of shame and cause grief to others. Think before you stereotype, it can do society a lot of good.
