Most asian americans are not rude nor do they have small eyes. I'm asian and I have big eyes. Maybe I'm a mix but who knows? I volunteer at Red Cross and I have a job at the IT department at Boston University.
The asians that Stefan is referring to are asian people who has just arrived to this country and is afraid. As you know, mainland Asian people are fearful and they do not like to start trouble. They were brought up about in a completely submissive and hierarchical society. Back in the day, if you did anything wrong, you are dead. Off with your head. If you even look at the empress, you are dead. If you do not kneel to the emporer, you are dead. In the days of Maoism, if you are rich, you are forced to share your wealth. If you oppose, you are dead. My great grandfather on my dads side was a wealthy man witha mansion and all so when Mao tried to take everything away from him and share with the common populace... he opposed. The following day, he was hanged for his crimes. WTH. Even today, the Chinese government has alot of control over its people. For instance, you cannot have more than two kids in a single family in many parts of China.
With all being said, it is no wonder asian people are fearful and seemingly rude. They are of course more than there meets the eye. Asian Americans are indifferent to all races and groups. We are after all part of the great American melting pot. To say that all asian people are rude and have small eyes is outright stereotypical. Comparing a favorable attribute, i.e having big eyes, to a less appealing attribute can certainly stir some stormy criticism.
I mean, how would you like it if I compared a White man's inferior small penis to a Black man's penis? It's not racist.. like you said. I'm just comparing factual details...
