If you see an a white guy wearing a fluro shirt from Cotton On, you immediately think that he is some stupid wog that have no brain!
As for myself, I have been mistaken for a a lonely smart Asian nerd who excel in Methods, Spesh, Chemistry, Bio and Physics.... As for a matter of fact I would like to clear a few things up:
1. I listen to Lady Gaga and I particular like LoveGame.... Do you see a lot of typical Asian liking songs that has a disco stick in it?
2. I prefer western movies and series such as: Heroes, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, Rome, 2010 and Lord Of The Rings over K-Drama, J-Drama or whatever drama they are called.
3. I prefer MTVs and VHM than K-Pop Or J-Pop or whatever Pop tarts there are
4. I lost myself through the words of english than solving Chemistry problems or maths equation
Though I am an Asian young adult who grew up in Australia who's traits and believes are pretty much been influenced by what's going in Australia, I do find a part of myself yearning to understand the history of the people that shares the same land and culture as I do wether it's through the histories of the country
Another stereotype that I do find quite annoying is that when you see guys that take care of the their looks is a homo or if girls are fat and dress in converse and non-lady like then they are lesbians......... honestly is the 21st century generation become the generations that only judge its book by its cover? Though I do believe that guys should at least have some fatness in them and more muscular where as the ladies should be feminine with a curvaceous yet healthy figure, I do believe in people being allowed to express who they are and dress in ways that express who they are and that should applies to not only in places like: America, Australia or England but also in countries that are not as privilege, democratic or as carefree as America, Australia or England such as: Africa and Asia.
What Is You Opinions about stereotypical? Is there any particular experiences or stories that you are to share?
Peace Out For Now

ReplyDeleteOhh and another thing.... though this kind of contradicts what I've been saying but I honestly really do hate people who really are up with themselves and think they are better that people whether it's trough: the clothes they wear, social classes, connection.... Aren't we human beings? Didn't Jesus teach us that we are all equal?
