1. Anybody who buys into that little China doll stereotype

has not run into any of my nursing coworkers over the years.

8. Well, nurses are almost always pretty tough.

Have to be to hack it in that profession.

I live in a city where Asian ancestry is around 15% of the population, so I'm always a bit surprised to learn that these stereotypes are still apparently incredibly common.

9. Tribal folks catch it around here

and some of the stereotypes are really bizarre. Even Hispanos are stereotyped.

The funny part about it is that the white folks doing the stereotyping are just another minority in this state.

3. Stereotypes are true are they?

So the stereotype of the opium addicted, lazy Chinese man is true? What about Japanese killing machines with swords? Go voice your thoughtless preconceptions elsewhere.

The stereotype of the "submissive Asian woman" comes about because submission was, and is, enforced. Historically many Chinese women found it pretty difficult to be anything except submissive whilst in agony with their feet deformed by bindings. Women in Asia were oppressed, tortured and killed to enforce their submission just as women in Europe were held down.
