Asian Stereotypes

Stereotypes of all kinds of people are everywhere. In schools, the workplace, and even in your own homes. The ones I've been hearing seem to be mostly about Asians. There's a lot of media references with these too.

The biggest stereotype about Asians is probably that they're all really smart, and that they excell mostly at math and science. An example of this would be the South Asian character in The Big Bang Theory, Rajesh Koothrappali. He is a physicist who works for a university.

Awesome cars seem to always be a must when you see young Asian drivers. Just watch The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Asians usually have the best everything when it comes to their cars. Best paint, rims, and bodies. Not to mention the sexy passenger next to them in the car.
