# 8 Are you Asian?

The episode, “The Chinese woman” showed how American think about Asian well. I am an Asian who is from Korea and who experienced American’s attitude toward Asian. In the “The Chinese Woman,” as Jerry heard her name with Chang, he just thought she is from China right away. George’s mother was sure that the woman who name with Chang is from China and also she thought all the Chinese have better wisdom than other people. But the women was on the phone was not Asian but a blond woman. This episode showed well that American’s stereotypes about all the Asian would have better wisdom and certain name sound. And “The Chinese woman” showed breaking people’s thinking not only Asian have wisdom and certain name sound but also other countries might have one. I experienced before when I was in high school. After many people watched many Chinese movies, many people think that most Asians can fight like Jackie Chan. Many Asians learned Karate and Tekwondo when they were young but not everyone. As I saw the “The Chinese Woman,” that reminded me my experiment. Maybe most people have some stereotype of other races but it is better not to have stereotype and just accept their culture not as different people but same people as what we are.
