When it comes to stereotyping based on ethnicity, it is possible to provide the discussion on high educational achievement levels among Asian students. Personally, I have been stereotyped for being a know-it-all and a person who only cares about one’s grades. Besides, being Vietnamese, I have also heard references to people of my background being servants or workers at sweatshops. These stereotypes are highly common and are offensive to the feelings of people of this background. When I first heard the stereotypes, I tried to approach them with humor because some people may have limited knowledge of diverse cultures in their values. When the stereotypes continued, I understood that the knowledge was very poor, and it was not my fault that I was Vietnamese – it is the fault of people that they fail to learn about the experiences and values of other cultures. Vietnamese people may be hard workers during learning or may have worked in sweatshops because they had no other options. However, these experiences do not diminish one’s value or role in society. Personally, I would like to be more open about the discussion of diversity and the role it plays in our lives. No matter what, we are all people, and our unique perspectives make the world brighter and more interesting.
