I don't hang out with only asians. I'm politically moderate. I'm a fairly devout catholic but do not belong to any fellowship.

Am I a stereotype buster?

Yes, Catholic being the biggest one on the list. Buddha will have his revenge on you :p

Going to high school in America will often de-Asian a person... especially if they're not living with academia-obsessed Asian parents.

If one comes over when they're 14 years old, I assume they haven't been doing a lot of driving while in Asia. My theory is that the Asian driving isn't genetic. It's learned and passed from generation to generation just like bed head!

Korean girlfriend was born in Korea and lives in a very Korean household. She's not academically inclined, she drives like she's auditioning for Fast and Furious III, and she doesn't scream or cry while having sex.

It's not all genetic.

Well let's see. I'm a gun toting member of the NRA AND the ACLU. I'm an American anti-capitalist anti-nationalist veteran who's also a sensitive, poetry writing, romance seeking, doting father, an imposing 220lbs of bearded martial arts bravado that hates sports and beer. I'm a dedicated patriot that despises his government. I'm strictly anti-religious but would kill or die to protect peoples right of free worship.

I dunno about stereotype busting, but I'm a freaking paradox at least.

This is a very, very valid point.

No U.S. military bases in China and in Japans case in the 70's and 80's Japan was not as poor as Korea was at the time.

When I was a teenager I had long hair, wore heavy metal shirts and ripped jeans, but I never touched any drug (including marijuana & cigarettes), didn't drink, was in the top 50 of my class and never got into a fight. Oh, and I played high school football.

Now, I'm a CPA with a great wife, 4 kids, nice house, two cars and a dog, but we swing on the side, go to Iron Maiden concerts and I coach football.

Are you saying Asians don't drive coast to coast, from Cali to Texas, in Chicago, NYC, all along the east coast through FL and are never pizza delivery drivers? :p

No but Asians are usually considered bad drivers and are good in math. I am neither.


Do you drive down the highway in the middle lane with your left blinker on for 10 miles and never move over? I hate that, I'm always scared to pass.
