    All these stereotypes.. they derive from some facet of truth. Now as for people being ignorant, that's another story.

    I guess the real downside to being Asian is that if you have traditional parents, and I mean raised in Asia, you're expected to excel in academics and be compared to every single other child of your parents' friends.

    omg.. people always ask me "What's my name in chinese?"
    >=[ ugh, the same thing in english??? makes me sooo mad!
    and you know those famous chinese bowl cuts and straight bangs?
    yeah... i had that... for like 5 years!
    and the worst thing about it was not only did i look like a
    typical chinese person who just immigrated from the motherland,
    but i was one OBESE BABY!!!!!!! and i had cheeks the size of
    watermelons.. omg i hated that... i'm scarred for life! ='[

    Yes asking if you can say something in Chinese. Amazed that your English is great and always mistaking me for another nationality because of my name. Or people who studied Chinese and try to talk to you in Mandarin and have to tell them don't speak that. Boy are that red face after that.

    being short

    i don't really mind the stereotypes because i grew up in almost all-white community...so white most of the kids didn't know what an asian was until the end of middle school....go figure

    and i defy almost, if not all the asian sterotypes (besides being short part)

    4th generation go!

    Haha, if it's a beginner who wants to impress you with his/her Mandarin you can pull an offended face and say: "dude/dudette, don't say that anymore, that's just rude!"

    (again, only try this when it's a beginner, don't risk of being laughed at yourself if the person actually knows more Mandarin than you do)

    The tyipcal sterotype. The fact that people expect more from you because you are asian. Other then that there is nothing wrong with being asian.
