Asian Stereotypes

         Stereotypes can also be beliefs and thoughts that someone has about a particular group of people, which have only some truth to it. Asians are one specific group of people that are victims of many hurtful stereotypes that we see illustrated through different types of mass media, especially TV. In most movies and TV shows we see and are brain washed to believe that Asian Americans are always the smartest, for example, this is portrayed in the movie, Geeks. Media around the world also illustrates all Asian Americans as being good at martial arts, like in the movie, Seven Samurai. Another offending and false stereotype that Asian Amercans suffer through is that "they can't see", as shown through many car commercials portraying that Asians can't drive because they can't see.
