Since I'm asian (chinese), I thought I'd look at some stereotypes that I actually don't mind having.

So let's all play a game. List one good and one bad stereotype of your race.

Race: Chinese
Good: People automatically assume you're good at martial arts
Bad: People assume asians have small pee pees.

I'm part Irish and part Scottish.

So, I like to drink, but I don't like to pay for it.

I hate the stereotype that the media perpetuates that all white guys are nerdy, wimpy, uppity, un-cool, invirile geeks that need to be instructed on how to be cool by the smooth black guy.

I had to think about this because, well, my race is British/Irish/German. So I pick:

Canadian! (I know its not a race, but too bad)

Good: We won the global lottery simply by being born in the greatest country on earth.
Bad: The world thinks we are meek, apologetic bilingual peacekeepers.

I like that one, whenever I go for dimsum they always greet me in English and give me crappy tea until I specifically ask for my usual in Canto. Same goes for any businesses in Chinatown, it's hilarious when they talk about ripping you off behind your back without knowing that you can understand them perfectly.

Go rent it, or look for the torrent. It's definitely worth watching.

True story when I was in Cuba I was talking to a friend who told me that their Vice President made a joke that went...

"There are only two types of people I hate....

Racists and Black people"

You had to laugh...
