Joey7777 -- whatever your opinion of the stereotype (positive or negative) hanging onto it means that you will not see people of Asian descent as the people they are without seeing their race and then your idea of their race first. And this could also have a positive and negative effect on you. I mean, if you're choking to death and just assume that the Chinese delivery guy knows the Heimlich or

Rey : From my experiences...yes, I actually would assume Jackie Chan and Ang Lee are good at math, science and logic. They might not be working scientists or mathematicians, but neither were the Asians I've known who seemed proficient in those areas. Is it wrong to think there's a strength there, whether it's nature or nurture? Different ethnicities look different, so why not assume there can be

I kind of love how basically the above spammer searched for the word blind and decided I could test out his vision improvement system.<BR/><BR/>Duh. Learn to read.

Hey Joey7777 -- it's not racist, but it is definitely the kind of stereotyping that can lead to racism. Would you assume that Yao Ming or Jackie Chan or Ang Lee was good at math, science, or logic? Of course not. They're good at basketball, fight choreography, and film making.<BR/><BR/>While it certainly isn't a negative thing to assume that all the people from one continent are smart, it does

I saw the Asian opera singer Sumi Jo play Oscar in Un Ballo In Maschera. She was wonderful, though in the long run I do wish the boy roles were played by boys. Let me ask you something. Is it racist of me to believe all Asians are "smart" in a sense? Good at math and science and logic? Because I can't say I've known "many", but I've known a reasonable number and variety, and every ONE fit into

I thought Sophie Okonedo did a great job as Nancy in Oliver Twist earlier in the year, so why not. Interesting that it's the same guy doing both.
