YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE "WONG" IMPRESSION!

Can't we all just get along? That won't be the first nor the last time we will hear that phrase.  Here I am tackling what I feel about race and stereotypes. First of all. I'm facing my own little boycott from some  of my own people because of my interest in the asian culture. I hear some of my "peeps" talk about how that when they were growing up there were no role models. No blacks to emulate. No model to be fashioned after. Well for me. I was a part of that same time. And I was watching the same tv shows. And living what I called a somewhat normal life. But I wasn't seeing these things not because I was stupid or naive. It was because I was raised to not see a difference. Now whether that is a  good thing or bad thing is up for debate. Believe me. I've had some heated conversations throughout the years. Some made me feel good. And some really bad.
Now how can I relate this back to the asian culture? Stereotypes! "All asian's are doctors" "Asians  can't drive worth s**t! These could go hand in hand with "All black people love watermelon" "Black people  can't talk properly"  "What you talkin' bout' Willis?"And the ever so famous "White people can't dance". Okay. Let's have an open mind here. Asians may be doctor's because they are taught at an early age to take care of themselves and their elderly parents once they are no longer able to take care of themselves.  Black people do the same thing. Except our stereotype is to be a basketball player, something in sports. or a rapper. For latin people for some reason they expect all of them to be able to do great lawn work.
Call me crazy, but I do think that there are some really good black doctors taking care of their parents and their grandparents in a grand old fashion.  Just like I'm sure I'm seeing even on this blog some wonderful asian rap artists and even R & B singers that are perceived as very successful.  And I'm positive there are some latino CEO's that have never touched a lawnmower. As far as the driving. Well...I've seen some black people and other folks with a car wrapped around a telephone pole! Not an asian in sight.I don't feel the need to really go on. But I will give one last stereotype a "Kick  in the ass" so we can move on with open minds and a non judgemental heart! Black men have huge D***s! And asian men have small d***s! Well let's just say that somewhere in the world a black man is in bed with a women and  she's laying there saying "Is it in yet"? Whereas in another part of town an asian man has pulled down his pants and a woman has squealed "Damn Daddy! You BIG!.
And to top it off, I'm sure there's some white guy dancin' his ass off because he finds this all so funny!
In fairy tales we start off with "once upon a time" and end with "happily ever after". In real life the story usually ends with "The end".  Let's open our eyes. Put these together. And " happily " put all this to an  "end." "





And by the way! "I LOVE ME SOME WATERMELON! "
