Asian sterotypes make other cultures view them as "brainiacks", geeks in math and science and over achievers. These sterotypes come from the simple fact that most asians are very intelligent because of all the hardwork and effort they put in to be so.
ReplyDeleteAn Asians success comes from the mere fact that they are hard working people who continuously study and attempt to learn beyond their expectations just to be the best there is.
ReplyDeleteAsian stereotypes make other cultures believe that they are merely born smart and this is an ignorant thought because I doubt that anyone was born knowing all the lessons in an Algebra or Calculus book. They are intelligent because they work hard and study consistantly in order to be intelligent.
Asians aren't born smart and we aren't destined to be successful. As Gladwell stated, asians gain their knowledge through hard work and discipline.
ReplyDeleteThe typical asian stereotype is that all asians are smart. Students of another culture might see and and asian student and think that he's a calculus wiz.
