[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [qb] The good at math stereotype does not extend to all Asians. Only Koreans, Japanese or Chinese Asians. Most of these Asian groups tend to discriminate against Cambodians, Laotians, Hmongs, Vietnamese or Philipinos. I am sorry if I am overstepping my ground here. Just thought I would interject this statement. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well last I checked, the stereotype applied to Asians in [i]general[/i]. Americans themselves tend not to discriminate between the various groups which are lumped together (regardless of northeast or southeast Asia), though academics is stressed in virtually [i]all[/i] Asian cultures. My parents for example, graduated from the top college in the Philippines. You are right that Asian groups themselves discriminate and yes northeast Asians tend to look down on southeast Asians but then they also look down on each other. I can't speak for all Asians, but I will say [i]my[/i] math skills are just fine. I even got an A in Calculus II! And Ausar, I know as a college student you know just how difficult that course is. Anguishedofbeingdumb is just upset over the findings of his (European) people being 1/3 African and my bringing it up often so he attempts to 'get back' at me though failed miserably. [b]LOL[/b] Yes European lineages are 1/3 African from neolithic immigrants, leaving the rest 2/3 Asian, but Europeans ARE Asian no more than Indians are Asian. Therefore his stupid semantics fail! [b]LMAO[/b] :D His boyfriend xyz is of course his blind supporter and fails to see how his beloved screwed up in basic logic. Oh well. :o [QUOTE][qb] Who cares. Hunger Games is a ripp-off of Battle Royale. Asians did it first!!!!!! [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually the author Suzanne Collins took the idea of the story from the Greek legend of Theseus and the offering of Greek youths as sacrifice to Crete. The bloodsport thing is taken from reality TV competitions like 'Amazing Race' and 'Survivor'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
