Is it just me or can you kind of tell what "type" (lol) of Asian someone is not just by looks but by personality? I mean obviously there are lots of exceptions and not everyone is the same, but I've noticed (hey, I'M Asian and my school is 48% Asian) that: Most Chinese people are REALLY hard workers, and are typically the ones at the top of the class. Not all Chinese people are nerds (duh) but A LOT of nerdy Asians are Chinese. They are all really school/work-oriented. Japanese people are the quietest. Typically they're pretty shy. They get good grades and all but they're not as... fiercely competitive? as Chinese people. Korean people are usually the best dressed. They're not DUMB, but they tend to be kind of ditzy/forgetful/bubbly. Still smart, but the least school-obsessed of the three. And they're usually lots of fun to be around.

Umm guys, no offense, but this thread is about stereotypes. Please don't show pride of your race, because apparently that's not with the topic. Nothing's wrong with that, but if you're gonna brag, please don't base it on your race.

China - Influenced by Russia and Germany, bad choices, and government failed. Koreans - THE BEST. Work hard, eat right, better than everyone. Japanese - Creative asians. Works hard at drawing and stuff, and puts the drawings in your little television box.

At my school, all the koreans ALL have good fashion sense, we slack like a mother, we act gangster and stuff to other races, we seriously slack like a mother, we get good grades. Out of the 9xx freshmen, you won't get to a different race until rank 62. 61+ are all koreans. We have groups: FOBS - Take ESOL, talk about StarCraft nonstop, play games like cham cham cham, and dress nice. ABCS - Speak english, challenge themselves, hang out together, talk about classes or tests or what not. Komaericans - Koreans that can't speak korean. We move them here until they take korean classes. In my school, all the koreans hang out with only koreans. Seriously, after hanging out with my korean friends this freshman year, I started deserting away from my american, black, and what not friends. Shoooooooooot. We even made a 10 page front and back web showing who likes who. Apparently, I like 3 other guys, and 5 guys and 8 girls like me. OT: Koreans are THE best. We slack, and we achieve." Wow ranks, really?
