There is against whites, blacks, hispanics, middle eastern, but I've never heard of any for asians? I wonder why is this. Yes I've heard a lot of good ones such as being very smart. Anyway just looking to see what you guys have to say.

Not trying to sound prejudice just curious :) Yes you are right any negative stereotype is not good but the fact is they are out there.

All these stereotypes never heard of them wow. insane. I guess I haven't been around too many asians but I've heard of the small penis stereotype.. so stupid. I'm not purposely going to be looking for them in Asians so keep that comment to yourself.

Speaking as an Asian, I'll give you two of the most common...
"We're short" (Generally true, but then again, there's Yao Ming, right?...I'm 5"10, still not tall but not exactly short either )
"We've got small penises" Unfortunately, there's some truth to this because an international survey shows that some Asian countries ( I won't identify which ones) do tend to average about only 5.5" ....then again, we're talking about an average, so there are exceptions...Also, by lumping all Asians together, it completely disregards the fact that other countries in Asia average about the same as Western guys when it comes to penis length.
I think there's a tendency to see something from just one country, like say...China and assume all Asians are like that. Asia is a continent with very diverse peoples and not just one country.
Personally, I don't like the "Asians are smart" stereotype because people tend to ask me to fix their computers for them. And I suck at chess!
Edit: about creativity and being copycats...I think it's from Asians who immigrated abroad and tried too hard to assimilate into the culture. Just look at what part of the world most of your gadgets come from...Japan's got technology intentionally designed not to conform to international standards so it stays within their shores. And if you look around in Manila, Philippines you'd find that cell phones models are at least half a year ahead of models in the US even if we ARE a "third world nation" (Apparently, cell phones get tested here in Asia because we adapt to technology faster and find applications for new technology...)

There are stereotypes. The one's I've heard are that Asians have really big teeth; Asians do nothing but study all the time --and so don't have hobbies--; Asians men have small genitals; Asian women have no buttocks.
I think stereotypes shouldn't be looked for, however. One should get to know individuals, and not try to lump people into a whole.

There are some negative stereotypes, such as the stereotype that Asians can't drive.

Where I come from the sterotype is that Asians are REALLY bad at Galaga. See there was a Galaga machine at the Little General store in the 80s and the Asian exchange student Hop Sing was REALLY bad at Galaga...he used to keep putting quarters in there and he would lose all his lives in like 2 minutes and then he would curse at the machine in Asian...

Sweetie, there a tons of negative stereotypes about EVERY race including yours. My best friend is Chinese/Lao so I've heard them all.
1) Asian people eat cats and dogs.
2) Asian men have small penises.
3) Asian people are bad drivers.
Keep in my I don't believe any of those but I'm just simply answering your question.

There are a lot of negative Asian stereotypes:
They are very frugal
They leave bad tips
They cannot drive well
They all look alike
They are copycats that increase efficiency but never innovate or create
....the list goes on

There are. Look at the Indiana Jones movies. I know there is one where the "evil" Chinese try to poison him. Negative stereotypes can be found all the time in Hollywood.

What the hell are you talking about.... What about the fact that Asians can't drive?.... I'm not saying they can't, its just a stereotype

asian women are known to be petite.likewise, their vagina canal is supposedly petite too.an asian males penis may seem small in comparison to other races but it is about the right size to accomodate the petite asian women.therefore,it's not negative but a complimentary match.
asian males have modified race/show cars but the bad driving stereotype is not limited to them.insurance rates are higher for males than females because males in general are bad drivers.their pride causes them to drive at unsafe/excessive speeds in provoked drag races or to show off to hot women.consequently,it's a deathwish.
