 Here's a list of 10 anti-Asian stereotypes that need to be destroyed right now and we're going to talk about which ones can be broken by Asians and then also which ones are a little bit harder. It might last a while. Yeah. We got to talk about this viral list written by Nexshark. Andrew, anytime a author writes a listicle talking about serious things, strong statements, there are a lot of comments generated on the internet. Yeah. And actually I really liked this list. Shout out to the author. They thought of some pretty good stereotypes. We're going to go through it. We'll talk about which ones are the most true, low, middle, high, and then also we're just going to talk about maybe like how we can break them and generally the conversation around it all. So make sure you like, subscribe, turn on your notifications, guys, and let's get into it. Andrew, real quick, the definition of a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. The sentence they give is the stereotype of a woman is as a caregiver or caretaker. Maybe women in a hospital setting are stereotyped to be the nurses. Yeah. And I think when a stereotype crosses over into negativity is because it's used a certain way, like, oh, all Asians are this way, all blah, blah, blah is this way. And those kind of like definitive statements are kind of those are the ones that cause the problem. Right. But it is true that literally every human on earth uses some form of generalization, archetyping, categorization, or even stereotyping in day to day. Let me just be fair. Let's keep it real. Let me give you a quick suggestion. Maybe you just say, generally, I feel like I've seen most Asians do this. That statement is a lot less problematic than saying, oh, Asians are like this. You know what I mean? Anyway, anyway, let's get into it, man. Andrew, number one, model minority, the article states the model minority is obviously the most common stereotype that AAPIs have always faced. This myth lumps together Asian Americans as a monolithic group of high-achieving and hardworking individuals who read the who reached the American dream through a rigid upbringing, top education and unparalleled work ethic. Yeah, man. So these on the stereotype that Asians are the model minority, David, how true would you say it is? Low, middle, high. Realistically, guys, and we only got low, middle, high as choices. I'm going to go ahead and say truthiness wise, it's middle because some groups absolutely fit this maybe to even themselves. They tell themselves this story to a 10 out of 10 level. Let's just throw it out there. I'm going to say high when these Americans generally generally, and then obviously you got another group that may not fit the model minority myth or archetype Cambodian Americans. Right. And I would say this. Here's the thing about this stereotype that makes it unique from the other stereotypes is that the model minority one within Asians and a lot of Asians don't like to admit it. But a lot of parents would admit this that they don't think this is a bad stereotype. They think it's a positive one. Yeah. And to be honest, if I talk to my black or Latino friends to be like, I mean, yeah, I could think of a lot worse stereotypes, guys. Yeah. It's not clearly a negative one, although it does have a slightly negative impact, obviously, for the Asians that don't fit into the model minority stereotype. They don't really get acknowledged. So that they don't get help from the government programs they do because of disaggregation. And people assume, oh, well, you're Asian. So you're just doing good. It doesn't matter what type of Asian you are, right? You're a model minority now. But I will say when it comes to being high achievers, that in a nut is not necessarily the worst thing to be, right? Be tough to get people to like all live life in the opposite direction just to break this stereotype, right? Right. For example, like I don't think that my Mexican friends want to stop being considered hard working or my black American friends want to stop being considered like charismatic. Right. You know what I mean? Because those are everybody has positive and negative stereotypes about groups, but those are the more positive ones, right? So it's hard to get people to go against something they feel like it's generally good. Yeah. I guess one way to kind of help break it is just acknowledge that probably half evasions don't even fall into the model minority myth at all, you know, and then also just acknowledge like the other groups of Asians, like for us, we're always there to highlight other cultures and acknowledge the differences. And I think you can be different and together under the umbrella of Asian, but I think you have to see the value in the groups that don't fit into the model minority. Yes. Because they have their own unique set of experiences. They've survived a unique set of circumstances that everybody can take something away from. In America, there are so many different careers and ways to make money. And I think we need to acknowledge that a lot of other Asians who don't fit into the model minority myth have careers in another sector and that we is still very respectable and we need to respect that. Moving on to number two, perpetual foreigner. This assumes that AAPIs are not true Americans because they just arrived here post 1965 in large numbers. I would say the Latinos get this perpetual foreigner card a little bit, but certainly white or black people that are heritage Americans for 300, 400, 500 years certainly do not have this, right? Yeah. I think it's also because Asians, we visually look different. So there's no way for us to disguise ourselves as like American or white because we just look different than white or black people. Right. You're saying in the same way that somebody like Chris Helmsworth is from Australia or New Zealand, but then they can come to America and play like all American bad ass way easier than us. Even if we're born and raised. I've been talking about Luca Donchich, who's English is probably his third language. And if you put a cowboy hat on him, he's just walking around Dallas just like a big cowboy, like anybody else. But I guess overall, man, this is a tough situation because I think Asian culture at its core, like true Asian culture is very different than Western culture. So the more you're into Asian culture, and by the way, Asian culture is on the rise in media, whether it be K-pop, the food, just Chinese culture in general, Vietnamese culture, Filipino culture. So if everybody wants to celebrate and highlight these cultures more and it's considered different than the general American culture, Western hemisphere culture in general, let alone Anglo-Saxon or Western European ones, then it will always feel like we're part of a different culture and therefore a foreigner. So how do you balance assimilation to appreciation to holding on to your own roots? Hard question. I'm going to go ahead and rank perpetual foreigner at a medium level too. I'm not going to pick just mid all the time as a cop out, but I really think so. And I think that, like you said, there's a visual factor, but there's also a cultural factor. I feel like my Filipino friends growing up felt less of this pressure or this perpetual foreigner label on them because of visual ambiguity, but also cultural Latinization or Westernization. So I think my Chinese friends feel it the most because my Chinese friends tend to be the least Westernized, even compared to my Korean or Filipino friends. Yeah. And also there is probably the most Chinese people coming over. So I think there's obviously big populations in the brown countries, the Daisy countries. Do you break this myth, Andrew, by acting extra Americana in middle American, like 1960s middle of America culture, or is it like changing the fabric of and throwing your culture in the potluck? You know, it's always like a brain fudge for a lot of like blue color, like Americans who are not exposed to a lot of different types of Asians. It's like when you're very Asian, but you do one or two things that is super American, like our comedian friend, Pung, he's, he's a fob from, from China, but then he's super good at shooting guns. So when he goes to this gun range, all the white people are like, whoa, like you are American Pung, but then Pung's like from China. So it's like, I think it's kind of funny, like if you can do one of those things or if you can have a really good sense of humor about it, humor is very, I guess in a way Western, I don't want to say humor is only from the West, but at least if you do the Western style of humor, it can kind of humanize yourself and you will be less of a professional. Certainly from a mechanical, just logistical standpoint, jumping two feet first into something that is commonly associated with being American is a tactic, but I'm not telling everybody. They don't think you should. You need to American wash yourself, but pick up a couple things of American culture that really connect with people and it'll help moving on to yellow peril. Number three, Andrew, the author says it comes from the 19th century. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 when they thought all these low page workers would come through and take all the Irish people's jobs. Obviously the Irish were already outside by the original Germans and British people that were here in America or Dutch people. But you actually have a theory, Andrew, it actually comes from the 12th century. So I think the term might have been coined in the 1900s. And then obviously, you know, the World War Two with the Japanese, that was also another level of yellow peril, by the way. And then now we're in current one, but looking way back to history, because I know Western Europe, they love their history, guys. So let's not forget that Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire did, did take over a lot of Asia and Europe pushed all the way to Poland. Yeah, but they didn't make it to Western Europe. But Western Europe knows that the Mongolian Empire almost did. So I feel like that there's also a sense of that being like, oh, man, the Mongols, man, they they did it a long time ago. And now now it's the Chinese, they eat raw meat. How could the Mongols eat the raw meat? That is what their advantage is to push Westward. Obviously, nowadays in 2023, it's a lot more economic. I believe Florida just banned Chinese citizens from buying property. It's probably going to happen in Texas. You know what's crazy, man? You know what's crazy about this, David? Chinese, it's like the second wave of Chinese yellow peril right now. You know, since 1882. First, the first ways was that like the Exclusion Act era, Gold Rush. These opium smoking baldheaded cues. They got the key of the ponytails in the back. Oh, man, we're all going to be eating chops. I mean, honestly, let's be honest. I think the yellow peril thing mostly applies to men more than women. I think it applies to everybody. But if when you think in a yellow peril, you're definitely thinking of a yellow man. Yeah, but I do think it applies more to the country and the economy in general at this point. I don't know if people are really afraid that China is going to maliciously invade America with boots on the ground. I don't think most people think that, but they do think that they're going to steal the property, buy a property, own things, anyways like that. Yeah, I mean, honestly, I think the yellow peril thing, if you really understand it at a macro geopolitical level, I'm going to go ahead and put this at a high. Yeah. Like low, middle, high. I'm going to rank this stereotype at high. This is obviously not that we are perilous, but like the belief in yellow peril is at a high level. No, I would say so. I think to break it, I don't know what Asian Americans can do. Yeah, it's not really on us as individuals, but I think one thing we can do is not fear monger if we don't have to. Like, I think you can stand tall as who you are and love your identity and love your culture without throwing it in people's face and be like, China's taking over. China's going to be the number one economy. India is going to be the most populated country this year. So ha ha ha. And then I'm like, well, if you're in America, you know, there's no need to do that, guys. For sure. I mean, I think if we were to look at it in a geopolitical way, it's almost like you don't want to be a sore loser. You don't want to be a sore winner. Obviously, whatever it even means to win anyway, of course, is debatable on a macro level. But yeah, obviously, the media is wrong. And then obviously, there's a lot of states who are banning Chinese people from buying property. You know, that's a really tough situation. If they're just trying to stabilize their housing prices, I think that's way more logical than just fear monger. Yeah, I wish they would focus more on the economy than the enemy. Point number four, Andrew, the COVID starter. This is probably the most recent anti-Asian stereotype highlighted by Carl Sampson for a neck shark. I mean, he's talking about leading anywhere from microaggressions, obviously a way to the most serious killings of Asian people, right? At the peak, obviously it was high. I would rank this as high at the peak of it. But I do think nowadays it's going to low-middle. You know, I think it's cooled off a lot, in my opinion. I do think more and more people are out there to defend Asians when it comes to these accusations about COVID spreader. Like, if an Asian person is coughing on the subway and you're nearby you, and you say, ah, COVID spreader! Like, a bunch of people are going to look at you like, come on. Remember, we were in LA when COVID first hit, and I remember I was walking in the street and I don't know how to say it. Unhoused people were moving around me like I was the source of that outbreak. No, they were avoiding us. I had never felt that force field effect on myself right now. I mean, how to break it? I don't really know how to break it. You know, this kind of goes to the yellow para thing where I'm like, this is almost such an overarching global movement is. When it comes to these kind of accusations that ultimately people feel strongly, but they actually don't know a lot about it, if you just question them back and be like, oh, why do you believe that? Why is it this way? Tell me why. Where did you get this from? Where did you get your information from? And if you ask enough questions, trust me, 90% of the people end up sounding really stupid. Right, and plus a lot of people that would theoretically hate you for starting COVID, they don't even believe in COVID. So I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a low right now in 2023. Moving on to number five, the dog cat rat bad eater. The man to rinse eating penguins. Yeah, this is a stereotype you see on a lot of people. I remember people used to talk about South Korea a lot. People talk about the Yulin dog festival in Guangxi, China, which is unfortunately, it is a real thing. Obviously, do I think in East Asia or Asia in general, I think less than 1% of people have ever had dog. It's way below 1%. But obviously, yeah, do I think the West might even have a way lower percentage of people who have possibly tried it? But yeah, it's below 1%. Yeah, and then also I think a lot of people are basing this off the re-posted videos that they see from Chinese social media where people are doing the weird mookbongs where they're eating weird animals. Not dogs, not eating dogs, but they're eating like soft shell turtles or frogs and things that look weird. But it's actually really funny because in some parts of America, they eat weird things too. They're eating frog in some parts of America. You could see somebody bite the head off of a roasted rabbit or squirrel in Duck Dynasty. I've eaten alligator meat at one of these festivals out in America. I didn't think it was particularly good. But we don't claim the Southern states. They have their own culture. You elated, but what I'm saying is, I think this one, if you made me say how true it is, low, middle, high right now, I think it's more low. But on the internet comments, people still tease people, but I think in real life interactions, I'm hearing a lot less of it. How do you break this? Well, again, like Asian-Americans are just not doing this stuff. I can't control what happens in Asia. And in some corners of Asia, obviously they are still doing stuff like this, but... I put it out of low, honestly. And even the truthiness is out of low. I'm not saying 0%, but definitely in the low zone. Number six, Andrew, the submissive Asian female. This is an archetype, obviously, that transfers into dating life, I guess more blatantly, but also possibly professional life as well. People don't want to have an Asian female boss, smaller, diminutive, not viewed as alpha. Yeah, also being over-sexualized in the workplace plays against you. I've never seen it, I've witnessed it. Obviously, I'm not an Asian female myself. We have Asian women in our family. Totally believable, but I think it varies a lot per sector. Some sectors are Old World and they're gonna operate off Old World stereotypes. Some ones try to break it. Yeah, if you're a really good-looking woman who works in fashion, obviously you're not gonna get stereotyped and it's not gonna be a negative if you work in some old school industry. But anyways, we- Gotta get more comments, you know. We made a whole video about it. We'll leave it right here, guys. I actually think my takeaway is that it's just an overarching stereotype of Asians in general that we lack testosterone, but lacking testosterone for a woman is extra feminine. Lacking testosterone for a man is also extra feminine, but being hyper-feminine as a woman is viewed differently as being hyper-feminine for a man. Obviously, for sure, man. And I would say how to break it, listen. And this ties into the next stereotype, which number seven is the emasculated Asian male. And since they kind of come from the same place, I'm just gonna clump them together. How to break it is like, to be honest, it comes down to the individual, right? And media. I'll say media is one side, but really how you live your own life. And listen, if you wanna be a really sexy Asian female, that's gonna benefit your life in a certain way, but also there's- Pros and cons. There's pros and cons that- You draw that magic card. Magic cards, they enter the powerful cards. Black Lotus, it takes a lot of mana. And being desirable on the dating apps, that's a pro and a con, 100%. And I think that men and women, we have to take on some responsibilities. If I'm an emasculated Asian male, I have to take on some responsibility for myself. And I have to figure out ways that I wanna break that myself. And you don't have to live your life, don't live every single moment of your life to break these stereotypes. Cause at the end of the day, you gotta be you. But just know that you have some responsibility. And that's what I would tell men and women. Honestly, I would say that these stereotypes of the submissive Asian female and the emasculated Asian man, that's weak of feminine, nerdy, devoid of sexuality. I'm gonna go ahead and put this at somewhere between a medium and a high. It might even, gun to my head, Andrew. I might just put it in the high category. Well, I can't agree with you, I'll put it in the high. But like I said, each individual has some responsibility for their own actions and how they're perceived. Yeah, versus the yellow peril situation, you have way more individual movement in this. The yellow peril is geopolitical. This is super micro and personal. Moving on to number eight, Andrew. The unemotional or duplicitous friend or coworker, duplicitous, comes from the Latin word, meaning double or twofold. It has to do with the kind of deception where you intentionally hide your true feelings or intentions behind false words or actions. So is this, does this at all relate to kind of the Japanese form of hospitality where they're like, oh, thank you so much. Arigato gozaimasu. And then they turn around and then like in their heart they hate each other. Otomochi, right? Or the, I forgot the word for it. We have forgot the name, I'll pop it up. But yeah, is it kind of like that where they're not talking about deceit, deception as far as like, oh, yeah, I'm actually low key, a Chinese spy. They're just talking about like, oh, I just can't read you your unemotional. I can't understand. I actually think this stereotype comes from the Japanese because it actually started in the early 1990s. But I think it applies to all Asians, but like probably even Asians sometimes stereotype, I'm not saying it's true, but like Japanese to be very like surface face and then inside face, right? Right, right. And I mean, overall, you can tie it to the unemotional or stoic Asian parents. I would say this one is a medium in terms of truthiness. Obviously, it's an older stereotype. I think people over 50, 60, 70, 80 years old in America are more likely to believe in it because of the Siamese cats from, what's it called, was a lady in the tramp and stuff like that in 1955. I think that Jen Yang's character in Silicon Valley was kind of deceitful but not in the super malicious way. The Neimoidians and Star Wars are based off Chinese Ming dynasty people. They were very deceitful and duplicitous. However, Andrew, I think there's another stereotype of Asian Americans that are more like fitting our archetype. I call it Tommy Toyota, which is basically this super helpful earnest like wasp guy from like the 1960s. Like gee, Willikers, what can I do to help you guys? Cause I remember I used to work selling wireless in college and all these rich white people were coming in from Issaquabi and like, hey, do you happen to know Tommy Wong? He was our cabana boy in our Honolulu vacation. He was so helpful. He reminds me of you because you're helping me buy this Blackberry right now. So people were like putting me in the Tommy Toyota, Harold and Harold and Kumar. I'll help you. That's wild that you were in Washington and they were like, hey, you know this kid in Honolulu? He was nice too. You're a nice Asian guy. You're a great service boys. Oh my God. No, literally they were hitting me with the Tommy Toyota stereotype. All right, so you give this a medium? I'm gonna give this a medium but it's difficult to say because, like we said, America's a big country, it's diverse, there's age ranges, there's racial ranges, there's income ranges, educational ranges. It could vary. What I would say how to break it and it's not, I'm not gonna tell Asians to stop being helpful and stop being nice people and stop being polite but I do think you gotta have this other side of you that you're strong and you gotta get stronger and you gotta either work out or gain some confidence somehow, have some type of attitude behind you that you can defend yourself with or clap back at people with in case something goes off because the last thing you wanna do is be this, be a nice, kind, soft, docile pushover, right? Be kind and nice, but also have that edge to you. Garden, but still have the warrior side, possibly. You know, it's up to you guys. Point number nine, Andrew, the bad Asian driver. This is a pretty common stereotype. I'm gonna go ahead and put this right now in 2023 at a medium level, maybe possibly even high, low. Is it funny that the young Asians kind of have this Fast and Furious and they're like whip it around, race car, JDM Exotics. Yeah, JDM Exotics stereotype, like okay, we're fast drivers, we know how to drive, but then our older parents are basically a liability. That's like the stereotype. But you know what's interesting? I think people stereotype older Asian drivers that are immigrants as more timid, scared, driving 20 miles per hour under the speed limit, but definitely not like, they're not like the people riding around like it's a rodeo all day. It's like more like, gosh, this old guy in front of me so scared he doesn't know what to do. He was like a rookie 16, 17 year old trainee driver. Right, I would say that most people describe Asians as annoying drivers and kind of clueless drivers at the worst level. But what was it, Mark Norman, the comedian Mark Norman had a really funny joke. Yeah, well Mark Norman was acknowledging the government statistic that Asians by far had the lowest vehicular homicide of vehicular fatality accident rates. It's a third or a fourth of all the other major races in America. However, why are Asians stereotyped as the worst drivers? And Mark Norman acknowledges this in the joke and he's like, yeah, it's because they actually cause a fatality for the car, two cars down. Right. That was his way of, funny way of acknowledging the fact but also explaining it away. That was a funny way to flip it. But honestly, like I said, if you are driving too slow, what are the odds you're gonna cause a fatality or vehicular homicide death? That's from driving too fast or driving drunk. Yeah, I think driving how to break this is just be more mindful when you drive. I mean, I have to remind our father who is never has not really gotten any no real accident has hurt anybody, has dinged up the car. Yeah. And has he got honked at a few times? Possibly. Is it kind of annoying to be in the car with him? Ah, yeah. Yeah, buddy. I'll move it on to number 10. Andrew, the primitive Asian villager. This is the last anti Asian stereotype that he had. He said basically stereotype that Asian Americans, especially the older ones come from a place that is backwards, archaic and primitive and hold on to a lot of police that have no place in modern Western society. Wow, so judgy. I think, I guess if they're talking about the superstitions, but a lot of cultures and a lot of religions and a lot of like religions blend with the indigenous culture or like the shamanistic, even like native culture. So then there's like a whole thing from that. But overall, I would say this about the primitive villager. What do you give it at low, middle, high? I'm saying in some zones, you could say it's medium to high, but obviously some other zones it's like super not true. I guess I would say medium. I would say just because there are a lot of Asians that come from corners of Asia that immigrate here. And then they oftentimes, if they don't adapt and assimilate, they do wanna live life kind of the way that they've been doing. And let me just be clear here. I'm gonna keep it super real because I'm gonna observe things about everybody. I'm not gonna hold back on my observations about just like, oh, this is my group of people or whatever. There are some people that come from like, let's just say China, for example, super rural China. If you understand anything about the disparity in China, if you come from Shanghai, you might be super modern and know how to use all the modern tech and stuff like that. If you come from the deep villages, it's almost like you could be from like 1900. So you're taking somebody from the deep villages who potentially could have been raised in an environment that more mimics 1900 America than 2000s America and transporting to America. Of course, they're gonna live their life in a way that to certain cutting edge Western people just seems like completely anachronistic and out of time. Like they could hit where in a time machine. Yeah, and it also depends on how it's executed. I remember growing up in Seattle, there was, we had some Pacific Islander friends that would dig a big ditch in their yard and roast a big pig in front of it, but they actually got in trouble by the police because- Cause of fire, yeah. Well, you're not supposed to just start a bonfire and roast a pig in like your yard. Like, in America, there's like rules and stuff like that. Even though I could tell you a lot of places and corners of America where they like to do that too, but they might be doing it in a state that allows it or in a slightly different manner. So what I'm saying is, I think a lot of these primitive villager things, it's actually not that different than some of the things you see in America, but it could just be also seen with another layer of like, oh, they're different from a different culture. And I'm not gonna lie, like the Western culture has been the predominant culture globally for the last like 300, 400 years, but some corners of Asia, they didn't get as much of those update packs or whatever you wanna call it, the Westernization pack. So obviously we're living in the West now. It just seems, some of the things, the medicines, people catching fish out of the ocean or whatever, like that's selling it in a bucket on the side of the street. That's like one of the more like old school things I've seen. Like, you know what I mean? For sure it's old school. It is of a bygone era. And I'm gonna say this, the word primitive though, I think that is the biggest offense right here. Villager, you know, you can take offense to that. Yeah, I get it. It doesn't cut your boy. It doesn't cut your boy. But primitive is wrong because it's not like we're just picking it out of fish in the raw. And it's not like that person just like, ah, like a caveman walking around doesn't know how to move. I think a better way is just like, they're low tech and they're simple sometimes. And that's what the villagers from Asia are like. They're low tech, they're simple, they want the simple life. And I'd break this to be honest, when I do see it, and I'm not saying all Asians even fit into this at all, but I'm sure everybody's seen it before. Like, if I see somebody around like the city and they're doing something that it's like, oh man, this person's just from the villages. They didn't fully know how to move. I will try to say it in language because I speak multiple dialects in language to that person to try to educate them. Whether they take it or not, I don't know. But I'm just doing my part to try to bring them up to speed. Yeah. And listen, I think if you're somebody who really wants to break this, I think the things that you can do is right, communicate with people. I mean, you can call out the behaviors if you think it's wrong. And to be honest, not all behaviors from this part or that world is necessarily what you should be doing in America because there's obviously laws against it. But ultimately, you can call it out or if you want to think about high-tech Asian stuff, there is a lot of high-tech Asian, like Japan, South Korea, obviously China has a lot of high-tech Asian. Yeah, it's crazy because it's like all the high tech. This person got like an opophome that's like super up to date but they're like just catching fish in a bucket. I don't know. Anyway, for their detrimental impact, inherently flawed basis on AAPIs and Asians all over the world, these stereotypes are the ones that have no place left in a diverse and informed world society. They all need to go, but it is our part as productive members of society to call them out when we see them or hear them. That is the end of the article. And real quick, we got to get into some quick flash reactions. Somebody said, are these stereotypes are just generalizations because I feel like these things about Asians were just rooted in some observable fact. This is true, right? I mean, that's what a stereotype is but obviously I don't like the word fact because just say it's observation. There's no observable fact because it's a fact, it's a fact, it's not observable anyways. Somebody said, is per capita income PPP a generalization of a country's wealth? Yes, because every country there are rich, middle tier, and poor people but it's a pretty good statistic to see the economic health of a country in the big picture. These are just overarching country metrics, right? So basically what they're saying is, yeah, of course, like we were saying earlier we acknowledged it. There's some shred of truth in stereotypes but people oversimplify them and they over-apply them because they don't care enough about a group to paint it with the nuance and know when something is being archetypical or like typical or not. I think the biggest mistake that people make with stereotypes is that in your head, you will stereotype everybody. I don't care how much you are against the word stereotype, you'll probably use generalizations in your mind but I think it's when you treat people differently based off of that dumb oversimplified stereotype and if you treat people differently based off of it then you're wrong. That's the wrong part. It's almost like people get four brushes to paint a photo and they're like, yep, these are the stereotype brushes. There is more nuance in this but this is just your starter pack and then the people are like, well, the starter pack's all I need. I only need these four colors and you go, well, there's another advanced pack just like crayons. You know how you can buy the four pack, the eight pack, the 16, the 32, the 64, 128 but they're like, nope, I'm good with these four basic ones because that's all I need because that's all I care about this group and I think that that's the messed up part. Like you said, people are not trying to move past firmware 1.0. They don't wanna go to 1.5 or 2.0 to flesh it all out. Yo, this one comment is actually pretty funny. It says, wait, how can Asian women be submissive and sexual when they're also the tiger moms and they have all the high expectations and they're super naggy? That's not sexual. Yeah, like I said, some of these stereotypes are like, does it change per era? Does it change once you get married? Are we talking about different types of girls? Like, that's why it's so ridiculous even though stereotypes, like we said, we're acknowledging it. I'm not gonna be one of those people to tell you stereotypes are 100% untrue, but I'm just saying, they're so misapplied. Right, I mean, honestly, once you break one stereotype sometimes there's a new stereotype that becomes true. Oh, Andrew, we're all the drug doing party Asians that are breaking them out of minority men. You guys remember this stereotype from a long time ago? All Asians know kung fu. And then guess what? People found out that we, a lot of Asians don't know martial arts. And then now Asians are weak and I'm like, oh, which one is it? That's true, man. And then, you know, everybody was going against the martial arts stereotype, but some people were like, dude, at least people were scared of us when we struck a stance. Yeah, I don't know, guys. Let us know what you think of the comment section below. Like I said, great list from Nexshark. The comment sections went all around the world and back. Like I said, some people were here, some people were over there. Let us know what you think. Keep it civil until next time with the Hop-Up Boys. We out, peace.
