I'd like to know a few things. As an asian (chinese, specifically) girl living in China, I've been curious and have been searching on the internet. Why do/may so many of you believe in cultural/racial stereotypes? Is it because you were raised to believe as such, or you just stick to what you think because you know no better? I've seen unbelievably idiotic statements such as 'asian girls are submissive and exotic' or 'some chinese girls think fat guys are better because they are all thin so only fat men are powerful.' I'm only talking for myself, but there is no one who could call me passive.
I can't cook. I love debating. I'm Christian. English is my first language, with Mandarin and Cantonese following a close second. I'm independent. I'm a feminist. I'm easily angered, and I have little tolerance. Where does it fit into this ideal asian girl? I've seen many of you here talk confidently - and ridiculously about asians.
Why do you believe things you don't know are true?
