so i'm studying for my intergroup relations class. its a class on stereotypes/prejudice etc. so i'm curious. what are some stereotypes that exist surrounding chinese people? leave a comment, they can be positive or negative.
you don't necessarily need to hold to them, and don't be afraid that i'll be offended (chances are, i've heard many of them). i'm just curious.
p.s. an example of a positive chinese stereotype might be that chinese are good at math.
an example of a negative chinese stereotype might be that we all suck at driving.
make sense? leave a comment.
some newfound lovelies.
(well..maybe they're not all newfound..per se...)
- pizza funghi. janette introduced me to this wonderful world of fungus in the summer. sounds horrible. tastes delightful.

- burt's bees almond milk hand creme. it has a DELICIOUS smell of almonds.
- u of t c4c girls and boys are just too much fun for one person to handle!
- friends who care. i'm not talking "hi-i'm-your-friend-whenever-you-decide-to-call-me-and-hang-out" friends. i'm talking real, genuine friends. friends you know would push your wheelchair if you asked them to. to quote a conversation pri and i laughed about (lydia paraphrased to ensure anonymity)
acquaintance: it makes me happy to know that i have an awesome and amazing
friend like you! i am just so delighted by this! it makes me feel warm to the core!"friend", thinking to herself: wow.... we're not friends. i don't even know you. get away from me creepo!
"friend" out loud: heheh... (awkward laugh...)
- playing lupe. she's just so delightful to play with. much more so than heraldo, since she's polyphonic.
speaking of cacophony...
- andrew bird
- leeland i'm going to take a stab and say that if you enjoy starfield...you'll enjoy leeland
- mat kearney

hahahaha. nice anonymity going there, friend. i'd push your wheelchair if im not in one myself. we could both be in wheelchairs and be amazing friends.
Stereotypes?
*chinese people are super smart in maths & sciences
*as parents are really overbearing, mean, don't trust their children, and have really really high expectations of them.
that's all I've got. it's pretty evident that my chinese friends don't have the best relationships with their parents ha.
the really smart ones are very artsy, but CAN'T play sports. like watching dog swimming, determined but lacking in effectiveness. but yeh, creativity off the wall (at least in my experience)
ahaha amac i can't believe you just compared chinese people with swimming dogs!!
wow...jess...i can't believe it either!!!
my people have just been compared to a dog!!
you should watch what you say amac. so far in your comments you have no only called me weird..but a SWIMMING DOG!
and creative?hahaha what chinese people do you know??
stereotypes:
chinese employers don't treat their employees fairly. tend to be mean and very demanding... to the point of abusive. (i know way too many flip maids who work/ed in hong kong)
chinese ppl are rich (well at least if ur in the philippines...watch out if u go there lydia, u myt get kidnapped for ransom)
once ur exams are over, i'll be expecting to have our bitterness talk soon.
