Nathan mentioned that some students from the middle east i.e. UAE and Somalia, saw this as liberating since they were not forced to act in certain ways in the native countries’ classrooms. Others from Asia thought that the American teachers were very helpful to the point of assisting students both inside and outside of class as opposed to teachers in their countries who viewed their profession as more of a job. Nathan expressed that students always thought that US universities’ courses are easy as the same as their elementary school,…

Another stereotype comes into my mind of being an Asian-American is that all Asians are over-achievers and live to please others. In the movie, The Internship, there is a character name Yo-Yo Santos who is an Asian-American teenager that always shows off his intellectual skills. While the others non-Asian characters who in the movies being portray as vibrant, funny and outgoing; Yo-Yo Santos seems to be very underdeveloped and does not have much of a personality. People often think that Asian-Americans generally do not have sociable personalities, but they are mistaken our politeness as a one dimensional traits.…

It gives people the idea that Asian Americans should always excel, and failure is not an option for them.…
This example prove that not all blonde girls are stupid. Another stereotype that I have hear is that “ I’m Asian so I must be a nerd that does homework everyday per week. Many people made a mistake when saying that because they do not understand or realize that whoever does their homework and turn in for a good grade and be success later in life.

The stereotype of all Asians being smart is very prevalent in all forms of pop culture today. While the label of all of them being intellectually supreme over their other racial counterparts is very extreme, it is true that many Asian Americans are very intellectually advanced, as 49% of all Asian Americans have a bachelor’s degree while only 31% of Caucasians, 18% of African Americans, and 13% of Latinos have bachelor’s degrees.1 Nonetheless, these 2 book covers from the Shelly Cashman Series: Microsoft Office 2010 and 2013 reinforce this stereotype. Both of these covers show the typical stereotype: an Asian American with glasses working at a computer. Another aspect of these covers is the level of difficulty of the books.…

Incidents which took place as a result of the stereotyping were in 1982 Vincent Chin's death; DotBusters in 1987; and Bang Ma in 2004 and many more undocumented events we don’t hear about. There are many stereotypes that results in the this racist violent act towards many Asian Americans, such as shy, unfriendly, smart, successful, and not American.

Stereotypes have an enormous impact of how people feel. They can make people feel stressed, upset, anxious, and more. When people stereotype others all the time, they get tired of being criticized and will be afraid to talk because they don’t want to say something wrong and they are afraid of failure. Today, people are afraid to be themselves because they don’t want people to think something bad of them. Stereotypes hurt people, and they can be very harmful and unfair.…
If a person is introduced to stereotypes at a young age, they may have insecurities that will hinder their mental, physical, and spiritual growth.

Asians are also labeled as geeks who excel in math, are very smart biologically, and hardworking individuals. According to the article Stereotyping Asian-Americans: Harvard Calls It ‘Diversity’ But It’s More Like Racial Balancing by YuKong Zhoa, Daniel Golden Thomas Espenshade believes that the reason behind these discrimination is because “Asian Americans are held to a higher standard than the other races” Although these are the better stereotypes Asian Americans face, there are plenty of horrible and equally inaccurate ones like Asians are the worst when it comes to driving, can not play sports but know martial arts, are socially awkward and passive with no leadership skills.
