15 Asian Stereotypes

Recently, I stumbled across a video on Asian stereotypes. It's really amusing to hear what non-Asians say about Asians.
Since I live in Asia, I'm just going to 'correct' things a little. Some of them are true, I must admit, but again, what I say are based on my experience and knowledge. Got that? Not all of Asia are the same.
Before I start, I'd like to acknowledge where I got the examples from.

1. Asians are identical; they look all the same to Western people
Understandable. Did you know that I find Western people identical too?

2. Asians have straight, black hair.
We have that, yeah, but some have wavy, slightly curly hair too. Not frizzy, though. At least not anyone that I've seen.
3. Asian eat rice everyday.
I do. It's a staple food. And pretty much everyone in my country eats rice too.

4. Asians eat strange food.
I don't know what non-asians would consider strange, but if ducks, frogs, turtles, shark fin, chicken feet and whatever-nots are considered so then yes. I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat them but they're sold here. If you want to find even stranger food, go to China. I'm amazed at the variety they can eat.

5. Asians find no shame in slurping.
I don't slurp because personally, I find it rude, but the older generation thinks it's okay because that actually shows the person who prepared the dish that it's nice.

6. Asians must get A+ grades. Or else.
There are a few classmates of mine who actually goes to intensive tuition class, some even double for all subjects. I don't know what's with the competitive spirit here and they're actually pressurized to get outstanding grades. My parents aren't like that, but I'm expected to keep my standard by being in the top class.

7. Asians are math brainiacs.
I seriously don't know where you get that idea from. Aw, screw that. Why do most of you think that Asians are good at everything? They aren't! We are humans too, and we aren't perfect. Fine, I always get As for math. But does that mean I'm a math brainiac? No.

8. Asians can't speak English.
What language am I writing in?

9. Asian parents think their kids shouldn't date until university and even then, is still too young.
I don't know about others, but I can have a partner only when I'm 23.

10. Everyday conversation includes "Have you studied yet?"
I don't get this everyday, but one of the first things they ask when I go to a family reunion is this. And "一定要读好书！"
Translation: Be sure to study well!

11. Asian parents love to compare their children against other children.
*nods* Unfortunately so.

12. Asians are terrible drivers.
What? No. Maybe you got that from China. I went there once and there were traffic chaos everywhere.

13. Tigerbalm is their secret weapon.
Tigerbalm rocks! I assure you, this has nothing to do with the tigers. It's just a brand of an ointment or something.

14. Asian women have small curves.
Generally. Curves suck anyway. Piece of unwanted extension.

15. If it's not a birthday party, there is little reason to go out when that time can be spent studying or practicing an instrument.
Hee hee. For my country, generally.
