Re: I Have to Deal with Stereotypes (and How to Deal)

[SuperDwang]

this is the type of sterotype questions i get and answers they assume. 1: Car?- Honda, Toyota variants 2: Music?- Kpop/Cpop 3: Grades?- A+ B=fail 4: Card Games?- Pokemon, Yu gi oh, Magic MY answers to those Car: Jeep Wrangler X 07 Music: Heavy Metal Grades: Average B-C Card Games: Texas holdem, poker, black jack etc Haha I am asian but not like all them other ones. it is quite annoying to hear the same responses or questions though. Everyone is different not the same because we look a like.

[MASHDOTCOM]

... We just faced a global financial crisis and US jobless rate is at an all time high over 10%. Who the fuck gives a shit about stereotypes when you have to work your ass off to feed?

[popoju9]

stereotypes ARE "....really weird, wrong and bad" but people still do it. we as chinese people do it just as much as anyone else.....it's just the norm....

[cutechubster]

you are completely right

[yourboycal]

[pong224]

[ChungFat4eva]

missing out on pokemon is missing out on life

[ChungFat4eva]

I absolutely did not deserve 3 thumbs down, i simply stated my belief that pokemon is amazing

[thablasiangurl]

I actually agree with this although I'm [half] asian myself, but you make a great point.

[vagas99]

omg i laugh so hard when she said "if your a steraight male that like talking like a vally girl go for it thats who you are" lol so funny! i don't even know if she is being serious or if its a joke lol.

[papoudia]

you are chinese

[TSBsivart]

FUCK YEA go asians@@@@

[wagnerc82]

No matter what you say, asians are cute and you're a cute asian.

[chindamaster]

you're retarded!!! don't cry!!! i'm asian and i deal with stereotypes everyday in my working environment. i think its funny when people talk stupid shit about us asians. just be cool and come up with a comeback line or two. that's if you're witty enough. hahaha you can order my book trash talk 101 coming soon. lol!!

[PrettyboiProductions]

stereotypes or not, be proud of who you are, and where you came from

[translationwiz]

You go girl. Im proud of you to have realized such an important aspect of life , "to thine own self be true." At your age. It took me decades to stop trying to find that cultural niche. The only good thing that came out of it was mastering the languages. Something I could have done w/o altering who I am and what I value and believe in. thanks for posting

[Basketcase32787]

lmao! your too cute and i cant take you seriously!

[cubamex2020]

SHE'S RIGHT, CHINKS ACT WHITE.

[moedude420]

good points but you still sound not very versed in life.

[Redskinsfan9465]

rice

[ioport]

What to do. 99% of people are a-holes.

[hohohee1]

round nose and watermelon face

[hohohee1]

you have small eyes ... haha

[hitenkururugi]

I know what she means. Im kinda light skinned but im still black and I got labled as white. Simply just because I like Linkin Park. WTF?!?!!? Simply because I like Linkin Park and Lil Wayne im white?!

[truehunter]

Tho i follow you, but there are many things oneself cant see. One reason why i dont follow American Etertainment due to the fact people will say shit just to make them feel good. One of my friend is hispanic & love being Vietnamese so bad hes he even join Vietnamese gang. Alot of the hispanic people talk shit to him for not being enought hispanic. Kinda sad how they love there Honda Civic so badly and still talk shit about Asian people.

[duff3d]

Hey, I agree with your whole thing about stereotypes. It's not cool the way people, are forced by it to change themselves. It's not right and messes with your head.

But, I don't understand why you're upset when people ask you what nationality you are? Unless they are being weird and freaky about it. Shouldn't you appreciate the fact that this person was paying more attention, and not being ignorant. There are many people, who don't care as much and just put all Asians into one category.

[Aidenson]

I agree with you being irritated by people asking about your ethnicity. Especially if it is the first thing coming out of their mouths. I'm sorry to say that it is a normal occurence and it will continue.

It was a time when you could tell the Irish from the Jewish or Italians from the Spainish by looking at their eyes, nose, hair and complexion. As generations past, they intermingled and now you can't tell. So if you are latino or asian it is one of those things that sucks.

[northnv]

stop reading

[DigitalRemixx]

im phillipino and some people think im chinese japenese vietnamese taiwan korean wtf?

[truehunter]

There a way to turn tha table but it may lend to violence. Onething i usely say when a white person if they ask im chinese, i usely tell them are they russan/ irish / etc ..... get my point. If they are black just tell them if they are Algeria / Chad / Nigeria etc...

If people think this is racism then they are hypocrite if they have ask someone. People call me chinese chino ching chong witch word i have no clue on but w/e i make word from there own country they get piss ??

[JayUchiha]

duuude! i love pokemon!!!!

lol i'm asian too!

*air high five*

[Flipperz408]

hahaha...very enlightening...i liked it.

and i get the "guess the asian" game too.

[cursednicorobin]

what kind of asian are you?

[evh513]

try to be non Asian,be yourself girl

[Kaiouforever]

You missed out on Pokemon?! Stereotyping truly is evil!

Seriously though, you're right. It's so stupid to focus so much on what people SHOULD be. What happens if someone FITS the stereotype? Does that mean it's true? Should they change to avoid it? Is it even NEGATIVE? People focus way too much on unimportant things, it's better to focus on being yourself and having a good life.

[ExUmira2]

You are sooo right!!!

[tawandachristopher]

can i have your digits

[xxS1yF0xx]

im your average 16 turning 17 year old white male, and i see this all the time. I hate it stereotyping. Im not going to lie but when you were talking about the "what kind of asian" thing i understand what you mean. I dont stereotype im just curious to find out ones background. I love learning about culture and celebrations (unlike the other 99% buggers [used a clean word]) i think that people from different races are beautiful and different. And thats all right!

[hyhu84]

You did speak perfect english.

That's why I subscribe.

Do more speeches with good points, but probably in a non-kevjumba way.

[KagatoIuchi]

What happened to the bangs?!

This is pretty funny. The beginning sounds like a public service annoucement.

[nba185]

The stereotypes are true in asian but not here in the states.

Theres 1 million prostitudes in China, and counting.

China women loves to scam people's money.

[sahid31390]

AGREED!

[m11386]

can i ur number

[TwilightxHikari]

You didn't miss out on a lot; you're not in asia.

[Yapboodee]

I gotta say taht I really HATE it when some people make rude & meant comments toward Asians calling all Asian "Chinese". I'm not Chinese here, but to me I don't see anything wrong with being Chinese. I'm Vietnamese here. Just because theer are Asians doesn't mean that their are Chinese. There are many races involve with Asians.

[scorpioprincess010]

i agree wit u cept with askin u where ur from..its cuz no1 wants 2 get people annoyed.sum ppl get annoyed wen sum1 says they r from somewhere else and they r not from there.for ex: if u call an indian ,middle eastern theyll get mad.

it mite not bother u if sum1 calls u like chinese & ur actually vietnamese..but it bothers sum other ppl

plus its hard 4 ppl who dont kno the difference in the eyes than ppl who do kno the diff

[LuXckyXWilL]

Ur such a bad girl, keep the asian pride

[maddoc1988]

I totally agree with you. I was major in pharmacy because I don't want like stereotypes, but then I changed it to Electrical Engineering after realizing that's what I really wanted to do.

[Nimnoms]

You should be proud to be Asian, you have a great culture and those who stereotype have long had theirs eroded.

[vercinetorix]

SHOW YOUR BOOBS!!!

[BBOYJAYTEE]

...how bout you show me your face so i can knock your perverted ass out

[luckyelway]

My hero!

[BBOYJAYTEE]

hahahaha

[Crius11]

Was that an old English essay you decided to put to practical use? :P

Anyway, I think there are 'stereotypees' and 'stereotypers'. You are referring to stereotypees. Kevjumba was referring to stereotypers.

I'm tired...

[choirgrrl]

Your voice is great! You should seriously consider a career in radio, and I mean that.

[NINJAWARRIORR]

I DIDN'T MISS OUT ON POKEMON:D

but im not asian...

does it count?

[HimeNaoko]

You're right =) We have to be ourselves! (I'm African-American if anybody cares!!!! &_&)

[HelloMan93]
