Have you ever wondered why or how Asian stereotypes work? Maybe yes, maybe no, but this article will sort out your stereotype beliefs.<\/p>\n

Asian Confusion!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one big stereotype right off the bat: everybody thinks \u201cAsians\u201d means Chinese people. Even Chinese people sometimes think that! It really annoys the heck out of some people.<\/p>\n

Say your friend is guessing people you think of. If your hint is: \u201dHe\/she is Asian\u201d the friend will automatically guess people from or descended from China, not India, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Jordan, Indonesia, Russia or Japan.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people think Asians are just Chinese,\u201d says Indian-American Aarushi Aggarwal. \u201cAnd that makes me mad because my history comes from Asia, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Small Eyes, Big Whys, And Huge Lies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Possibly the biggest known stereotypes for Asians is the \u201cSmall Eyes.\u201d But people get it wrong again, because it\u2019s actually just a Japanese, Korean and Chinese stereotype. No person would think \u00a0Indians or Lebanese \u00a0or Iranian people have small eyes. \u00a0You\u2019ll understand this if you read the Asian confusion section of this article.<\/p>\n

Chinese descendant Angela Chi says here: \u201cI think that\u2019s really mean, people can\u2019t help how they look. I\u2019m not saying they do have small eyes, but if they do, you shouldn\u2019t mention it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

The Big Brain Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHow come Zao Gong gets straight A+s and you don\u2019t, Ha Shen Bao?\u201d a person without an Asian as a parent might think an Asian parent might act when their child gets an 99.9% on their \u00a0last math test.<\/p>\n

Here, American Jack Wuerfl tells us his \u00a0opinion: \u201cIt\u2019s not totally true. I don\u2019t know how that stereotype was brought up, but it is true a lot of Asians are smart.\u201d His last part of his statement has some meaning to it.<\/p>\n

While it is true that some Asian families push their children to study harder than many Non-Asians families, it ticks lots of Asians off when someone needs help with a math problem and goes to the stereotypical smart Asian who got a B instead of the stereotypical \u201cdumb\u201d non-Asian-American who got an A.<\/p>\n

Why do we need these stereotypes at all? The world should make judgements on personality, if they are nice or help a lot of people. Stereotypes are a whole bunch of useless beliefs and are best never brought up.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
