prj inspo to @myloveallmine note : stereotypes to any race is dehumanising and extremely rude. they can lead to severe mental health problems so please stop using any stereotypes. “asian parents are strict” not all asian parents are strict, they just parent the way their parents parented them (lol does that make sense?) “asians are smart” no offence to the ACTUAL smart asians but not all of us have those genes. most of us are normal people who also need help with work. in some asian countries such as korea or china tho, children are expected to get high grades. “asian parents have high expectations when it comes to grades” well, yes, but they want the best for us. even if we get yelled at for not reaching (sometimes) over the top expectations. “asians watch anime” so do non-asians! just because anime was created by asians, it doesn’t mean we all enjoy watching it. “all asians go to english as a second language or have an accent” this stereotype is not heard often but i’ve heard it said before. this is judging by appearance and is super super rude! some asians don’t have accents at all since we are born in countries other than our home country! “all asians get plastic surgery” not all of us! this mostly applies to korean people but only some people would like to get surgery done. others are fine with how they look and they can look naturally pretty. “all asians have slanted eyes” nope! remember, asians aren’t just chinese, japanese, korean! they include india and pakistan as well as afghanistan. “asians are non athletic” i have asian friends who run, do sports and some are even in the state teams for their sport. so. not. true. “asians are quiet” this is not heard often but again, i’ve heard it before. i have asian friends who are quiet, and i am quiet sometimes too! but i also know asians who are loud, funny and the life of the party. “your food looks/smells weird.” it might look or smell weird but i swear, most asian food tastes amazing.
