why i never liked being asian

<p>I'm Asian, and my parents don't even know my birthdate. So, apparently, I have it the worst. To everyone else, the only reason I got into college is because my parents pushed me. However, to the people that know me, the only reason I got into college is because I'm naturally smart, by being Asian.</p>

<p>Oh, and to answer the test:</p>

<p>The "Real", Undisputably Accurate Asian Test
True/False:
1. I love math and science. - Nah, but I have to say, I'm good at both.
2. I speak (insert asian language) - Yep, Viet.
3. I want to go to HYPSM/UC Berkeley/UCLA/Gtown/Northwestern/some other brand name college. - Haha, Cal.
4. I want to become a doctor/engineer. - Law.
5. I want to/intend to live in LA. - False. A better question would be, CA in general.
6. I take/intend to take any three of the following: AP Bio/AP Chem/AP Phys B or C/AP Calc BC. - Took Al-II Honors freshman Year, Pre-Calc Honors soph, and College Algebra junior. Was planning on taking AP Calc junior year.
7. Your parents think anything below 2200 is horrible. - Parents don't talk to me.</p>

<p>I don't think Asians are naturally smart. In fact, I believe there was a study a while ago that said that based on IQ, the smartest group of people are Jews. :]</p>

<p>I think the whole brainy Asian stereotype comes from the fact that education is highly valued in countries like China, where if you want to live halfway successfully, you need to be very well educated. Nurture, not nature.</p>

<p>Huh, what if you're Jewish and Asian (like me)? Haha.</p>

<p>(Filipinos are tied for 2nd among oriental asians in college attainment.)</p>

<p>In general, I think Filipinos are more laid back than other Asian races. It comes from their history and culture. </p>
