Blog 6 = How stereotypes define you
I'm 18 years
old male and was born in China and group up with strong Chinese heritage.
I currently live in Buffalo, Minnesota. A suburban town located an hour
away from St. Paul. Growing up with Chinese heritage, some of stereotypes
I get from friends and classmates are I'm good at mathematic, I'm smart, I'm
pro at Ping Pang, I love rice, and the phrase Ching Chong Ding Dang is part of
my language (which is absolutely wrong). Besides having a Chinese heritage,
growing up in a middle-income family I always enjoy playing tennis.
During my free time, I usually would hang out with friends or watch movie
at home.
Except for Ching
Chong Ding Dang as part of Chinese language and every Chinese is pro Ping Pang
player, the accuracy to the depictions that I stated earlier are quite
true. Although I can't say all Chinese are always excelling in math, same
mathematic courses do usually teach one years or earlier in China than in
America. But one stereotype that I agree and can confirm of is all
Chinese love to eat rice. Each ethnic has its positive and negative
stereotype. One of positive effect on
stereotype that Chinese excel in math is people tend to believe Chinese have
the right answer comparing to other. One
of negative effect for stereotype like Ching Chong is people will make fun of
Chinese by saying this phrase.
