Racial classificatin has no truths when it comes to stereotypes. Stereotypes only have a mild chance of being true when you look into an ethnic group. Asia,doesn't share the same values as closely as the west does(which is pretty much all christian, with divergents between groups) , and all of them fit into very different ethnic groups. Japan itself, has been mostly isolated for 2,000 years before the meiji restoration. It has very different values, and some similar ones from other asian countries. So generalizations, like the one you are making, shouldn't be made at all, but if you are to make one at least make one on a group of people who share the same ideas and values. Racial Classification has nothing to do with stereotypes is all I'm saying. Oh and the only way I would recognize your stereotype as anywhere near valid, is if you were raised in Japan, and have seen what the average person acts like. Even then I find any stereotype hard to believe. Also in the specific case that you mentioned about "asians being cheap", I just want to tell you that that is ALL relative on the person. Some people are cheap while others are not. Being "asian" has nothing to do with it. |
well, if you know details about the history of Asian countries in general, then you'd know that the time of poverty>>>>>>>>time of prosperity by a ton, so would it really surprise you that people are more picky about money in general? it sure doesn't me because I've traveled all over and lived all over, Japan is no different, they've especially had a bad history of poverty outside of China's longer history, and most of the time worse.
