Asians

Asians are very stereotyped in todays media. They are often shown in movies as the intelligent nerds who are extremely skilled in math and science but lack in basic social functions. In real life, many people view Asians as highly motivated and ambitious bussinessmen/engineers. Statistics show that they are actually about average earners and that Asian immigrants to the US struggle slightly getting set up. The packet we got in class backed those facts up. Asian women are also stereotyped in a slightly different way. Some media uses exotic looking women in provocative positions in order to lure readers in. This is called the "Lotus Blossom Stereotype."
