Stereotyping People

What I want to talk about in this blog is stereotypes. For me, stereotypes is a major thing for me because I'm Asian. However, stereotypes affect all races but I think Asians have the worst stereotypes. We are known to have small eyes, mostly "nerds", and we are suppose to get good grades. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I mean when I do get good grades ( which I mostly don't ), people think of me as a different "Asian". It makes school a lot tougher for Asians because we are expected to a be at a standard.

Another thing that really bothered me is what is exactly a stereotypically Asian? To all my viewers this is not a question only Asians can answer. What I mean what was the stereotypically back then in the 90s vs. right now? Stuff like listening to music can be very "Asian". Okay, so I was with my friends a few weeks ago and they asked me what I was listening to on my iPod. I answered Korean music. Guess what their response was? " That's so Asian." Then I thought just because I live in America now doesn't mean I have to listen to American music too. I listen to American music but I just prefer Korean. So have the stereotypes changed? I'm pretty sure that when Asians or any other ethnicity moved to America they didn't just start listening to their culture's music.

Everything now has gradually changed. The stereotypes of everything changed. Some Asians don't get good grades yet people automatically assume way to much. Another thing is the only reason why there are so much stereotypes is because one person in that ethnicity did something wrong or what ever and its affected on the whole ethnicity itself other than just one person. So people that doing stupid things like stealing ( just lost my iTouch ), stop stealing and making your ethnicity look bad because of one stupid thing you might have done.
