[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't live in VA, and I'm Asian.  But I wouldn't want my kids to go to a school that was 50% Asian for [b]various reasons[/b].[/quote]

Can you explain?[/quote]

They're not very good at playing stringed instruments?[/quote]

Their parents are bad drivers and will hit your kid in the parking lot?

Come on PP, share your "various reasons" aka stereotypes.  :roll: [/quote]

I'm the PP you are asking to share my reasons, which I did in the post above.   Stereotypes do apply to a segment of a population, whether that stereotype is a negative or a positive opinion, but not necessarily to an individual.  For example, we have stereotypes of the Asian tourists or American tourists..because a large portion of the group fit the stereotypes.  We have preconceived notions of people by the way they dress, the way they talk and where they shop.  Don't be so naive.

As an individual, I try not to judge what you are like by your race as I am more than aware that an individual does not necessarily fit a certain racial stereotype because I certainly don't as an Asian person.  But a large group of people with certain commonalities will likely fit into some kind of stereotype.  [/quote]
