Stereotype Question

<p>People say that Asians are good at math, stereotypically. Are they good at science too? Sorry if this offends you, but I'm also Asian too, so...</p>

<p>Umm, nah I think it's just math.</p>

<p>Though my soccer coach was complaining about how it takes a "*****ing Chinese lawyer to fill out high school athlete paperwork" lol. So they might be good at law too then.</p>

<p>I am asian and I am better at math than I am at science. Out of biology, physics, and chemistry, I am better at physics and chemistry, which I directly contribute to my math skills. </p>

<p>Most of my asian friends are very good at science and I think that a lot of it comes from them being in Science Olympiad in middle school and their own desire to compete, not outside pressures.</p>

<p>@Cono</p>

<p>Nope, Chinese lawyers are VERY inefficient and slow, along with the c***py bureaucracy. It's a huge hassle to deal with them</p>

<p>Meh, might as well stick to the rich kid white lawyers then.</p>

<p>I'm pretty dismal at math. </p>

<p>... I'm actually white, but my parents are Chinese. Maybe it's a genetic thing. ;)</p>

<p>Alex</p>

<p>Lol, how are you white but your parents are Chinese? Are they not your biological parents?</p>

<p>Are YOU good at science?</p>

<p>I'M good in science (according to the ACT anyway). I really like science though, and math a LOT. And I'm not Asian ;)</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>If that's to me, then yes, I like and I'm good at science.</p>

<p>Vandan, or are you... DUN DUN DUN, no you're not, but that wink! You could be... DUN DUN DUN</p>

Adopted. ;) I've gone through the obligatory bowlcuts and the "AIYAAAs", Chinese is even my mother tongue. Why am I still hopeless at math? </p>

<p>I still say it's genetic. xD</p>

<p>I think Asians are only supposed to be good at math, but they usually end up being good at science because of their math skills and competition/pressure.</p>

<p>I'm half-Asian so I'm half-good at math and science.</p>

<p>Just kidding.</p>

<p>I'm actually better in science than math (I still do well in both, though).</p>

<p>Stereotypically, they're pretty much good at everything academically. At least here they are.</p>

<p>I'm good at Science......but not Math..:D</p>

<p>D: in my school, asians are stereotypically good at science and math...
however, :-) i suck at both!</p>

<p>Speaking as a white chick - the Asian kids copied off me in math :)</p>

<p>I'm asian and I'm good at science, but not math.</p>

<p>I'm a male asian and my overwhelming strength is horticulture, although I am decent in math and science as well.</p>

<p>I'm Asian and math isn't my strongest subject.</p>
